I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2011
Interview
Contacted by recruiter. Set up a phone interview for the following week. The interviewer failed to call. Sent an email to the recruiter. Rescheduled the phone interview. Talked about my exp, asked some basic data structures question and then asked to design a class. I knew I didnt do well. Didnt get an offer. I didnt know about glassdoor then. Was not well prepared.Planning to try again.
Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
Recruiter reaches out after applying through Amazon careers, no referral. Had an initial OA, then after a month had four rounds in two days - three coding one system design. Each round had 30 min behavioral and 30 min coding.
