I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2013
Interview
I applied online last summer and got replied by a recruiter asking me to finish an online assessment. There were three problems. The first one is to check whether the linked-list has a loop. The second one is to find the top five test scores for each student while giving me a list of students and their scores. The last one is also an easy linked list problem.
About one week after the online assessment. I got an onsite interview opportunity in Seattle.
The onsite interview has four rounds and the questions were all coding questions excluding OOD and system design. The team that interviewed me is the kindle team that focused on asking me questions about data structures. I remember the first question was to build a comparator that sorts the given strings. The second is to reverse a listed list. The next interviewer gave me a scheduling problem. I don't remember the details but I used a priority queue to solve it. The last interview question is to give you several points on a 2D plane and find the nearest 500 points near one given point.
It was a 2-3 round process, depending on how your interview went, with increasingly hard DSA questions followed by some HR and behavioural questions. First round was mostly easy and medium leetcode, followed by medium and hard questions in the second round and above on more complex topics.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru)
Interview
The interview process consisted of an online assessment followed by two technical interview rounds and one behavioral round. The technical rounds focused on Data Structures, Algorithms, Java, and problem-solving skills. The behavioral round covered Amazon Leadership Principles and past project experiences. The interviewers were professional and the process was well structured.
