I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2010
Interview
Initial contact was from the HR in response to my application for a QAE position. The phone interview was scheduled for 1 hour. The HR sent a generic email about the interview process stating that the interview will be technical covering areas of data structures, algorithms, coding/design. The position I was interviewing for was QAE which does not require programming expertise- so make sure you follow up with HR about the specific position's requirements.
The phone interview started 15 minutes late (and the interviewer never gave a reason nor apologized for the delay).
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Given an array of integers, how would you move the duplicate integers into a different array? What is the efficiency of your algorithm?
