The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2012
Interview
I had 3 telephone interviews before I got a reject. All 3 were technical as expected. Interviews covered almost all parts of software development-- OOD, Design Patterns questions, OS conxcepts, DB concepts.
Be confident and do not bluff( its like digging your own grave). Be thourough with OOD. Scripting language knowledge very helpful. Also if you have worked in Linux then it is helpful.
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
tell me about a time you took responsibility beyond your role
It was a 2-3 round process, depending on how your interview went, with increasingly hard DSA questions followed by some HR and behavioural questions. First round was mostly easy and medium leetcode, followed by medium and hard questions in the second round and above on more complex topics.
