J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en août 2012
Entretien
I was contacted by an Amazon recruiter who noticed my resume on monster. I had one phone interview of about 90mins and was then asked to come to Seattle. I was apparently interviewing for 2 position so I met 2 hiring managers and about 2 technical people from each of their teams, 6 interviews in all. The technical interviews were nothing special, the standard questions listed here and a couple of curve balls which were really interesting and I cannot disclose them since they were sort of closely related to what they do and thus it would go against my non-disclosure agreement. They treat you really well and make you feel comfortable except when they keep challenging your answer to see if you break :)

Question 1
The most difficult and unexpected question was a bunch of "What if" and "An example of when..." kind of behavioral questions. I should have prepared these, I had not and really was stumped and ended up giving them real examples and expressed my honest opinions (not a good idea esp if you are opinionated like me).
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.

Question 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
