I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Amazon in Dec 2014
Interview
I was contacted by an Amazon recruiter via email asking if I was interested in a job with them. I responded yes and there was an initial screening with him. After that I had a technical interview over the phone which was not overly difficult.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Since this was a testing interview and not full out development he had some testing terms I had never heard of these include:
Equivalence Class Testing
Pair Wise Combinatorial Testing
Failure Mode Analysis
the only one I heard of was: White Box vs Black Box testing
The coding portion was not difficult the question was this
Write a function that takes two lists of strings and return a list of Strings with all of the intersections of the strings ex:
List1 = {"a","a","a", "b", "d"}
List2 = {"a", "a", "c", "d"}
expectedReturn={"a","a","d"}
Also he asked what tests cases I would use to validate the function also he wanted to know the run time analysis of the function
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC) in May 2024
Interview
I applied through LinkedIn with reference. As usual, I received OA with middle LeetCode questions, which were pretty hard for me. After 4 month I was asked for Screening Interview, where recruiter explained me my interview path in 15 min. I scheduled my interview, but one day before I received an email about rescheduling and I was asked to give my schedule which I did. After one week I received another email, recruiter told me that the schedule doesn't work for them and I need to give another one (which is strange because I gave the whole week with business hours from 9 am till 6 pm). As soon as I sent my new schedule, I received the email that my position was filled already. This is the end of the story.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2021
Interview
Answered well in both telephonic and loop rounds. But felt the panel was in a rush to select a candidate. Rather than listening to the candidate they were taking down the notes. I am sure they must have missed few important points. Few of the interviewers in the panel are neither knowledgable nor interested. Not a good experience at all. Surprised to see such dumb candidates taking interviews in amazon !
Interview was phone screen. It was a technical round and interviewer focused on issue identification and investigation. Also asked question on queue and dequeue related functions. Also few java programs using collections, data structures and algorithms.
