I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2013
Interview
Had two rounds. First round went fine. Was asked a question I was able to solve. Nothing very tricky, but thorough understanding of data structures and algorithms is a must. The second interview was the worst experience ever. The interviewer's english was quite bad, and at times I wasn't even able to understand what she was saying. and i had to ask her to repeat the question over and over again. And I had the feeling she was typing on the other side, probably getting her work done during the interview. Although I was able to get the solution at the end, finally didnt get an offer. Will never interview again here.

Interview by recuriter, Phone interview over Chime with one easy Leet code problem and 2 behavioral questions. Although the interviewer was very casual at the start of the conversation, it quickly changed into behavioral questions at the start.

Encoding optimization algorithm and talk about a project you did recently.
First round is just leet code coding which screens through AI before going into live coding. Pretty simple and straighforward. Not too tough. Recruiter walks through it pretty nicely. Not sure how many rounds there are exactly
After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
