I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2009
Interview
I was asked a number of technical questions about data structures and big O timings for the algorithms that I used to solve the problems. The interviewer was nice and would lead you in the right direction if you got stuck. It really felt like they wanted to test your knowledge and intelligence. It was a pleasant experience even though i was very nervous.

Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.
