I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2010
Interview
I gave my resume at a job fair at purdue university and i got an email from amazon.com asking me to schedule for a phone interview. I set it up and I got the call which lasted for an hour, where they asked me several technical questions. 1 week later, i got an e-mail from them telling me since i lacked experience, they were rejecting me.

Question 1
Write a program which picks the first 2 highest numbers in a sequence?
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.

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.
