The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2011
Interview
The first interview was a written interview where the recruiter asked basic questions. The second interview was with HR as a screening interview to get to know my background. The third interview was technical and harder than I expected. He first asked me some basic object oriented coding questions, then asked me how I would solve a problem and finally asked me to write the code on paper and read it back to him line by line.
The interviewer was looking for a very specific method, not just the right code that meets the requirements.

Question 1
What complexity would sorting add to an array list?
Straightforward interview process with clear communication. The interviewers asked about my background, relevant experience, technical skills, and how I would handle common workplace situations. Overall, it felt professional and organized.

Question 1
What is customer obsession and how do you apply it
Could not use AI during the first interview. The recruiter was helpful in the screener but the coding exam was tough including the take home test. Did a few Leetcode examples but apparently that wasn't enough.
