The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2009
Interview
Had a on campus interview and they asked a lot of technical questions. They asked about sorting algorithms as well as about dynamic programming. The interview was very intimating as the interviewer was on his laptop the whole time and didn't speak to me much. They just sat on their laptop and gave me a problem, then kept asking if I was done every 2 minutes.
Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
Recruiter reaches out after applying through Amazon careers, no referral. Had an initial OA, then after a month had four rounds in two days - three coding one system design. Each round had 30 min behavioral and 30 min coding.
