The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2008
Interview
I set up the interview through my school's recruiting program. There were 3 1:1 interviews that each lasted 45 minutes. The first was a first round that allowed me to get to the last 2 interviews in the second round. All 3 interviewers asked algorithm questions and had me write sample code on a white board.
Two interviewers were bright and friendly. One was cold and had poor communication skills.

Question 1
I got questions like "Given a dictionary of words, how do you calculate the anagrams for a new word".
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.
Um teste de código online, se aprovado, vai para o loop. O loop é 4 entrevistas seguidas, duas em inglês e duas em português. 3 entrevistas técnicas de código, todas as 4 têm pergunta de liderança.

Question 1
Pergunta historicas baseada nos principios de lideranca da amazon.
The whole process stretched over nearly a month, longer than I anticipated. After an initial phone screen, I faced a technical round that included a Min Stack implementation question. We discussed design considerations and thread safety, which threw me for a bit. Fortunately, I remembered a specific mock interview I practiced on PracHub that mirrored this scenario closely, making me feel more at ease. Ultimately, I received an offer, but I chose to decline due to the company culture not feeling like the right fit.
