I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2012
Interview
Amazon HR contacted me and scheduled a phone interview. One of the development managers interviewed me, he gave very detailed explanation about the division and then asked some questions about past experience. then came the data structure and algorithm questions. Every question asked was already posted on glassdoor. but i didn't had enough time to refresh my memory on them. i would let anyone applying to prepare at least 1 or 2 months before the interview.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2012
Interview
The last interviewer seems busy, talking to her colleagues, and was not paying attention to me. That was a downer. All three interviewers were Chinese. Questions were easy, but I had bad cellphone reception that day. I guess it was my problem.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2012
Interview
Had 2 phone interviews after posting my resume in Monster. Both were technical. All questions can be found in this site and most of them were about data structures. one of them is to design the elevator class. The interviewers were very nice and so was the recruiter. Over all it was positive.
