Amazon Software Development Engineer, interview questions

The recruiters were friendly; aced through 2 telephonic interviews and was invited to the on-site interviews. On the day of interview, I was interviewed by 5 amazonians; 4 tech and 1 lunch interview. I believe I did well in all but the first interview... After a week, I was notified that I wasn't selected to make a job offer. I guess I was disappointed, as I thought I did well, but wasn't made an offer. But, then your performance is relative to the other candidates they interviewed...

They were building a new site in Cambridge so they had the interview in Boston at a hotel. I waited in the lobby for the interviewers, who arrived in an elevator and then took you to be interviewed. Others also waited in the lobby to be interviewed. I was told there would be either 2 or 4 1:1 interviews, each about an hour. The interview itself was primarily what my experience was, followed by questions about things I had done, followed by coding problems. Then I was asked if I had any questions for them. I was already happily employed and would not have looked forward to driving to Cambridge. That day it took me 1.5 hours to arrive. Also I had read about carrying a pager here on glassdoor.com, and asked the interviewers about that. One said you carry it for a week every month; the next said you carry it for a week every 2 months. I was told at the end of my 2nd interview that there would be just 2 interviews that day. I responded, "That must be a bad sign" with the response that it probably wasn't a good sign. Sure enough I did not get the job.
