Amazon Software Development Engineer interview questions

I had already gone through one phone screen which went very well. I was contacted via email by my recruiter to set up an onsite interview. I was in Seattle, WA for 3 days, 2 nights in a nice hotel not far from HQ in the heart of downtown Seattle. The interview was administered on the second day. It went from 11-4 and included 5 1:1 interviews—including the non-technical, hiring manager interview during lunch. Aside from the lunch interview—which was one hour long—all of the interviews were 45 minutes long. Amazon lives up to the reputation of administering difficult interviews. I was asked design questions, algorithm questions, language-specific knowledge questions, and various other questions. All in all, I really enjoyed the experience. The people I met were genuine and real. It was obvious that you could simply be yourself at Amazon; from your opinions to your clothing, they not only allow you to be yourself, the demand it.

Applied online and got an email from recruiter for Immigration Questionnaire and job description. After a day got an email back for scheduling appointment for interview. Recruiter mentioned " The phone interview will be technical in nature and you may be expected to answer questions related to design, data structures, algorithms and basic coding. Please be prepared with a pencil and paper".
