The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2011
Interview
Seemingly painless. Four 45 minutes interviews. Not particularly hard if you know your stuff. Big emphasis on memory and design questions. Each interviewer told me to tell them a little about myself, then asked various technical questions. Typical technical interview from a big company.

Question 1
What is the difference between a thread and a process?
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Question 1
Pergunta historicas baseada nos principios de lideranca da amazon.
The whole process stretched over nearly a month, longer than I anticipated. After an initial phone screen, I faced a technical round that included a Min Stack implementation question. We discussed design considerations and thread safety, which threw me for a bit. Fortunately, I remembered a specific mock interview I practiced on PracHub that mirrored this scenario closely, making me feel more at ease. Ultimately, I received an offer, but I chose to decline due to the company culture not feeling like the right fit.
