I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
High stress, 45 min interviews, 5 in a row, no breaks, little easy talk to decompress between rounds. For a first loop in years, this was stressful. Questions were not really all that hard, just the rate at which they were coming. I dislike the fact that interviewers were taking notes and images of the white board of algorithms on the board. Also, I don't like that some of the questions seemed like real work problems they could be dealing with.
