I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2016
Interview
Probably the worst interview I ever had.
They scheduled the interview for a day in which I was not available, after I sent them an availability table. I asked them to kindly reschedule and no reply till I got the call for the interview.
The interviewer was not nice also, first he asked about my background but promptly stopped me after 2 minutes because "we don't have much time", that was not nice at all.
I reply correctly to a theoretical answer and I describe how I would implement a code test. Then they ask to implement this in Java, while they said on the mail they would accept other languages too, and since, even if I did Java, I do not work daily in Java I rejected to continue the interview at that condition.
It was such a lost of time and motivation. I wouldn't expect such a bad experience.
Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
Recruiter reaches out after applying through Amazon careers, no referral. Had an initial OA, then after a month had four rounds in two days - three coding one system design. Each round had 30 min behavioral and 30 min coding.
