I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2012
Interview
I have taken two phone interviews. The first one goes well. The interviewee just asked some background, and then asked the coding questions.
1.. given a number, find two numbers from an array so that the sum is equal to that number;
2.. given a number, find three numbers from an array so that their sum is equal to that number;
During the second interview, the interviewee directly asked the coding problems.
1. Given a file which contains 4 G integers, find an integer that doesn't exist in the file with a 4M memory computer
2. Given a sentence, and an output, write a function that takes the sentence and output the given results.
I didn't do the first question well, and for the second one, I make some small mistakes. So I finally failed.

Question 1
What is customer obsession and how do you apply it
Could not use AI during the first interview. The recruiter was helpful in the screener but the coding exam was tough including the take home test. Did a few Leetcode examples but apparently that wasn't enough.
Applied online via the company careers page. Received a reply from HR within a few weeks inviting me to an initial
screening call over Teams. Process also included an online coding assessment sent as a pre-interview step.
Communication from HR was professional, prompt, and friendly throughout the scheduling stage.
