The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2012
Interview
There were two interviews. The process is smooth.
The first interviewer called me 10 minutes late. His Indian accent made me barely understand his question. He asked me 2 questions. The first one is about to print a tree level by level and the second one is about basic understanding of OOP.
The second interviewer asked questions about Java including sorting and searching.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2011
Interview
Applied Online and received an interview request in a week, scheduled a phone interview the next week.
Consisted of two 45 minutes phone interviews, the first one was purely technical with questions related to Data Structures, Algorithms, Coding- there were 3 coding questions where we are supposed to write code on paper and read it aloud, the second was mostly HR type questions about projects and experiences and 1 coding question.
Interviewers are mostly looking for your though process, give the first answer u can come up with and then start building on it ( on the basis of time complexities, memory etc )
