The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2011
Interview
The recruiter from Amazon sent me an email saying that somebody has identified me as a potential candidate. The phone interview took 50 mins. Only one question, given a listed list and an integer, find two numbers in the list that sum to the given number; I was asked to code and also give the test cases. The question was straight forward, but the interviewer asked me to tell him the code exactly word by word (character by character). This took a lot of time. In the end, he asked if I have any questions. That's it.

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.
