I applied online and then was asked to do an on campus interview. The questions were very easy and I answered them correctly after a bit of discussion with the interviewer. HR did not tell me that I was actually interviewing with amazons subsidiary imdb so I was unprepared to ask questions. Also the interviewer might have thought that i insulted him at some point. Oops.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Applied through the university's career website (essentially a resume drop), was later invited (via email, I think) to set up two on-campus interviews (45 minutes each, back to back). Met with one interviewer at a time: solved a problem, wrote some code and pseudocode, discussed modifications, trade-offs, runtimes; ended with a few minutes for questions. Got the decision within a week or so after that.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
First, I got an online assessment. It contains two algorithm problems and several logic problems.
After about two weeks, I got an onsite to Seattle. It's four round back to back interview. The interview is not quiet hard. Something about BST and OOP.
