The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2010
Interview
Recieved an email asking if I was interested for a role at Amazon in Seattle. A phone interview was set up. Was asked some general questions about algorithms and their complexity, then was asked to come up with an algorithm to find the intersect of two arrays.

Question 1
Write an algorithm to return the intersect of two arrays.
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.
