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.
The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Binghamton, NY) in Mar 2012
Interview
The phone interview was preety simple, was asked basic concepts about oop and what projects i did, the next day i was called for a one on one interview and was asked to redesign a api that could take any type of string as input and convert it to a corresponding integer output, was then asked to return more than one variable from a function. was also asked to implement a basic system call
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2012
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter after applying through Amazon's career site. The interviewer was very friendly. Began by explaining the unit in which he worked. He then asked me to describe my background a bit which he used to segue into asking me to describe a project I have worked on, how it was implemented and what I would do to improve the project if I were to re-do that project today. He included some questions about data structures and which would be best suited for the project I had discussed. After that, he asked me to write code to determine if two strings are an anagram. He wanted me to talk through the algorithm before I began coding on collabedit. Overall he was a very nice interviewer, seemed as though he wanted me to do well - was not trying to trick me at any point.
