I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2014
Interview
I was selected for a phone interview, scheduled time away from my current job to fulfill a one hour time slot away from the office I drove to work 45 minutes away instead of busing so that I could leave for the interview mid-day. After 15 minutes of waiting for the call at a Starbucks, I emailed the person who scheduled the interview about the delay. an additional 30 minutes later, I called her and was informed that there was a last minute reason they had to postpone the interview and I would hear from them later that week. Despite my attempts to follow up, I never heard from them again.
I can understand not being selected, but I can't understand that they wouldn't let me know early enough for me to avoid wasting so much time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most difficult question was mine:
I can understand not being selected, but I can't understand that they wouldn't let me know early enough for me to avoid wasting so much time. Why would you schedule me for an interview, then lose interest in me and not even let me know but rather just not show up? If I did the same, I would probably be blacklisted by your company!
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2014
Interview
I sent my resume to a campus recruiter and received a group interview invitation a month later. Had an one-hour long campus tour in the beginning and the interview took up the rest of the day. Each group has three members, each works on one part of the problem and you need to figure out division of tasks. Each task is independent and you can choose you language.
