I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2010
Interview
Very long turnaround, one and a half months between first interview and applying. The interviews are tough as I had to write SQL over the phone. First phone interview was with the hiring manager, second was with someone not even associated with the team. This second interview didnt go well as the person was just not that into it, was unclear in his questions and a little argumentative.

I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2026
Interview
Applied online. Got an OA. OA was not that difficulty, on the easier side to be honest. Got an email asking for interview availability.
Interview in a week. Will update soon.
Very difficult process it took me a round 1 month to get back what’s the review for the interview so I think overall it’s bad experience and difficult interview process while it has lot of questions I wa able to answer
