The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2010
Interview
Got my resume in through a referral. Received a call for phone interview after a long time. I had two 45 min phone interview with a lot of OO concept questions. In both the interviews i was asked 2 design problems and 2 coding problems. One of the interviewers asked me to solve a homework problem and mail it to him.
Few of the questions I was asked:
1) Given an array of numbers where each number has a duplicate except one, write a program to return the lone number.
2) Given a string, write a program to check if it is a palindrome.
3) Design a parking garage
4) design a deck of cards
Overall the experience was good. The interviewers are nice and make you comfortable.
I am still awaiting their decision.

Interview
One online assessment and one virtual interview included a coding round and leadership principle questions; overall, the process was fairly straightforward and not overly challenging for me throughout the experience.
2 rounds:
1st round: 3 behaviorals: Tell me about yourself, tell me about a time you used Gen AI, tell me about a time you faced a problem in one of your experiences
Leetcode similar to LRU Cache but a variant
2nd round: 3 more behaviorals; tell me about yourself, a specific experience in my internship, a time you disagreed with manager/peer on a project
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Pretty difficult OA didn't need to get full score. One round technical interview with SDE. Interview was pretty easy, most people I knew at school and friends ended up passing the interview. Took about 1 month to hear back after interview
