J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en sept. 2011
Entretien
Very focused on whiteboard coding exercises; few behavioral or design questions. Interviewers were neutral - not exceedingly warm or welcoming, but not adversarial, prickly or discouraging. It is not the easiest thing in the world to reach fifty words here and I find myself obligated to insert nonsensical gibberish such as bat, cat, rat, wombat, splat, kumquat, and so on and so forth until we reach a satisfying total.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1

Entretien
Recruiter explicitly mentioned that the Technical Phone Screen interview did not contain any Behavioral question but the interviewer definitely asked 3 behavioral questions.
The coding problem was utterly garbage, it was a pretty trivial problem that anyone that knows DFS would be able to solve. That is not appropriate for a SDE 2 role. Not even useful to demonstrate candidate skills
PS: They care a lot more about what you've accomplished than whatever you can accomplish based on your skills

Entretien
5 rounds of interviews
1. OA (2 Medium Hard Questions along with some Work Related Assessment which tested design related concepts)
2. HLD
3. DSA
4. LLD
5. Bar Raiser
Technically, the questions were of medium difficulty and with good polish, you should be able to solve these questions. The main challenge in Amazon is of the Leadership Principles which involve citing real work experience in the STAR format.
