I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in June 2010
Interview
The first round consisted of standard 'Interview 2.0' questions. No trick questions and no puzzlers. If you know your basic computer science data structures and algorithms you should be fine.
One of the interviewers asked me to code a solution to an array problem on paper and then read it back to him. This was very awkward as it took a while to dictate it back to him correctly. A shared whiteboard would have been better.
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.
Um teste de código online, se aprovado, vai para o loop. O loop é 4 entrevistas seguidas, duas em inglês e duas em português. 3 entrevistas técnicas de código, todas as 4 têm pergunta de liderança.

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.
