I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
An engineer from the team called me for an phone interview. He very quickly asked a few questions about my resume and then he opened gave me a collabedit link and asked a coding question. It was a rather easy one. Engineer was very friendly and helpful. After I solved the question, he asked a lot of general questions about multithreading and object oriented design.

he gave me two sentences and wanted me to return a list of words that exists in one sentence but not on the other one. for example s1 = "I am happy" s2 = "I am old", you have to return ["happy", "old"]
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.
