I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2011
Interview
Applied online through company website.
About a week later they contacted back for a phone interview.
The phone interview takes about an hour.
Asked why Amazon, some background questions, then technical questions.
The technical question includes.
1. compare Java and C++. function calls, VM, target execution, language features, etc.
2. The web site with 2 app servers and 1 database server is slow. Explain how you wound investigate it and make it faster.
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.
