I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2014
Interview
One round online test and another onsite interview. Base on the really tech they are using on their website. And some algorithm with data structures. OODesign is very important. String and array, queue and stack, linked list and array list. Some self define data structures.
Technical apti(20) and 2 coding questions. 4 technical rounds and one personal interview at on campus. Looking for really cool coders. High expectation on accurate answers. looking for deep understanding of algorithms and data structures. interviewers are really helpful if you are stuck at some where.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2012
Interview
Pretty standard. Please read 'cracking the coding interview' as a great book for information how to prep for interviews at any top tech company. Prepare also from Steve Yegge's blog post - how to get that job at google. It's pretty universal. Don't get scared though, you don't need to know all this.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions about examples of behaviours from previous jobs / university projects. Tell me about at time when you had to be pragmatic / exceeded expectations / what was hard / what was complicated. Pretty standard, but it's hard to come up with examples on the spot.
