I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Aug 2010

2 phone screens and 6 hr site interview. Basic areas of they test your skills are 1) Data structures and algorithms 2) objective-oriented design 3) linux/shell knowledge, Regex 4) designing large systems and scaling.

The whole process stretched over nearly a month, longer than I anticipated. After an initial phone screen, I faced a technical round that included a Min Stack implementation question. We discussed design considerations and thread safety, which threw me for a bit. Fortunately, I remembered a specific mock interview I practiced on PracHub that mirrored this scenario closely, making me feel more at ease. Ultimately, I received an offer, but I chose to decline due to the company culture not feeling like the right fit.
