Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon en mai 2012
Entretien
It was a walk in interview. Amazon picked me up from Linkedin and sent me an invite for the interview. Interview consisted of 4 1:1 technical rounds of 45 mins each. The interviewers were very nice and smart. The questions that I was asked weren't very hard but I believe to get an offer from Amazon you have to impress all of the interviewers because I am pretty sure I impressed all but 1 and hence did not get an offer. But well it was a very good experience. One learns more from failures than from success:)
