I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2011
Interview
I actually had two phone interviews. The interviewers weren't rude, just completely impersonal. I began to question what they actually knew themselves. Questions such as writing a method to print out a number of indeterminate size by printing each digit from left to right, how to traverse a balanced tree. I thought my first interview was horrible, but got a second call. Thought my second interview was good, never heard back. Just as well, as I haven't read any positives about working there.

Question 1
How would you test if a binary tree were symmetrical and balanced.
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.
