I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
I was given an IQ test followed by 7 easy debugging problems. They were all easy, most of them are just changing one or adding brackets here and there. Than I got a coding assessment and then final phone interview. The phone interview went really well the engineer even said "Oh that's good, I like that" to one of my marginal optimizations. I thought I got it but I received my rejection about 2-3 weeks later.
The process is very time consuming, the recruiters were very difficult to reach and unprofessional, I am disappointed with Amazon.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (San Diego) in Mar 2017
Interview
After two online coding challenges involving debugging simple code and some data structure question, I received a technical phone interview. The phone interview was average, but the site I was asked to enter my code in was a bit buggy on my computer. Nevertheless, I had messed up on the question so was not able to move forward.
