I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2012
Interview
2 Steps process Hiring process. Initial a phone call for inviting to an interview at location itself. At the location there was no interview but a small project to build in a team of 3 people and there were 20 such teams.Thus has to be done in one day(approx 6 hrs). In first phase technical recruiters study each team approach of development. second phase is individual interview in which each team member is asked about his approach on developing the project and to describe his code on the project. finally the project is submitted by each team at the end of day and thats when interview ends. Later they might be evaluating individual code and making the decisions.

Question 1

Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.
