I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2013
Interview
Applied online with resume and got contacted by HR for an onsite interview in Seattle. The interview process had a project (4 hour) where we were put in groups of 3 and assigned work. There was half an hour of personal interview as well.
HR got back to me within a day with the job offer!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Cannot discuss the project due to confidentiality. It shouldn't be too hard for someone who has a few years of coding experience.
Interview by recuriter, Phone interview over Chime with one easy Leet code problem and 2 behavioral questions. Although the interviewer was very casual at the start of the conversation, it quickly changed into behavioral questions at the start.

Question 1
Encoding optimization algorithm and talk about a project you did recently.
First round is just leet code coding which screens through AI before going into live coding. Pretty simple and straighforward. Not too tough. Recruiter walks through it pretty nicely. Not sure how many rounds there are exactly
After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
