I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2015
Interview
Weeks after applying online, I received the link for Amazon's online assessment. The assessment consisted of 7 debugging questions to be completed in 20 minutes. I successfully debugged each code fragment and was contacted for a final technical phone interview a few days later. There were two questions, both of which were relatively easy (nothing more difficult than tree traversal). I was able to answer the first question pretty quickly but took some time to optimize it, and then struggled with the second question only getting the chance to agree on a solution with the interviewer but not code it up. I received a rejection email a few days later. It was a good experience and my interviewer was great, working collaboratively with me to find a solution.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2015
Interview
This is a group interview. I came to the Amazon building at 8 am. Totally, there were 30 people on that day. Three people in one group. Each one chose one problem to solve. The coding was end at 3:30 pm. The time was very limited. You can tell your thinking about the problem one on one to the interviewer totally twice.
