The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2010
Interview
First I get two phone interviews. In the phone interviews, they asked me a lot questions about c/c++. Because I have a lot of experience about Unix network programming. They ask me something about tcp/udp and thread programming. For the onsite interview, they ask me something about design pattern, and how to design a phonebook. They also asked something about shell programming. It is not very hard.
but you need to ask hints and make sure whether your idea is correct. : )
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.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney)
Interview
I can't comment much. I submitted an application for the software engineer position, and not even a minute later, I received an auto rejection email from Amazon (never received an online assessment).
2 behavioral 2 coding not very difficult. Behavioral is tell me about a time you took responsibility beyond your role and biggest accomplishment. The process is exactly the guideline they posted for interview.
