I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Houston, TX) in Feb 2013
Interview
Two 45 minutes phone interviews, 15 mins apart. First interview went over some questions like describe a hard problem that you have solved and why you want to work in Amazon. Then there is a simple coding problem. The second interviewer asked questions on very basic data structures like trees, as well as another coding problem. The second interviewer was much nicer than the first one. The second interview went much better because I was given the option to type my code into the laptop, whereas I had to read out the code to the first interviewer.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
The two coding problems are not hard at all. Both are can be solved with binary search, it's a bit redundant.
HR interview, then I had 1 45 minute coding round with 10 minutes behavioral and 35 minutes coding. Behavioral round was typical star format questions probing at leadership principles. Ex. Tell me about a time you took initiative and it didn’t work out.
