Applied on amazon.com. After 1 month, a HR emailed me a online assessment. There are three questions and need to be done in about one and half hour(I could not remember this). After that, the HR noticed me a onsite interview. There are 4 rounds, and 45 mins for each.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Waterloo, ON) in Feb 2013
Interview
Applied online, followed by a half hour phone screen, and then after that, I had four 1:1 interviews with technial recruiters on various teams. They asked standard algorithm-based questions, focusing on amortized analysis and runtime/space efficiency concerns. Basic algorithms were mostly theoretical with little actual coding required.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Thought the position for AWS is HPC related position (MPI or so). But all questions are basic software engineering. First round coding test 1h. Failed in second round.
