I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Minneapolis, MN) in Mar 2013
Interview
Dropped off resume at career fair, but I believe I was contacted due to my resume on my college recruiting site. I was contacted by email asking me to sign up for an on campus interview (I signed up for a Friday). I met with two interviewers, spending about 45 minutes with each one, and answered one main technical question for each. The following Monday, I got an email telling me I would receive an offer via phone call the next day. The email asked me to choose my start date (they start interns on Tuesdays but let you choose when you start).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Two questions, neither very hard:
1. Create a "flood" method for an image class (similar to the paint bucket in Microsoft Paint), taking in x and y coordinates and a color to fill with.
2. Create a function to input integers (1-999999) and output strings (one - nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred-ninety-nine).
Online Assessment (2 coding questions, 1 behavioural questionnaire, 1 behavioural workstyle email reply simulation)
2 Online Interviews (10-15 minutes behavioural, 45-50 minutes technical) Back to back or on different days.
