I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Oct 2014
Interview
I was invited to hining event in Bucharest after very easy online test. It was 2 task in onlite test, and no interviewers at all.
There was 4 interviews for 45 minuts in Bucharest. 2 for design and background, 2 for algorithms. Nobody ask "why amazon" : )
Organization was not very good, the venue was not clearly stated - several people including me was late for first interview because we waited in wrong place.
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.
