I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC) in May 2014
Interview
They phoned me and I was in front of my computer because they required me to live code.
Just live coding took all the time of the interview.
First question : Implement merge sort.
Second question : Divide and conquer.
Q&A
We don't really re-invent the wheel or memorize information in detail because they are a few clicks a way, it doesn't look like effective measure to recruit talented people in anyway.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
didn't expect that they would ask about merge sort.
Good interview process overall. The questions were mostly focused on general software engineering knowledge, with a strong emphasis on AI concepts. The interviewers were professional, and the process was well organized.
