I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2007
Interview
Had 2 phone interviews with techies which is Amazon standard. Passing 1 gets u the next phone interview & and passing the second gets u to Amazon campus. On site interview is quite intense and they pretty much look for superstars by having what is termed as bar raisers.

Question 1
Sort the first 100 numbers from a incoming input stream of milions of numbers.
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.
