I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2014
Interview
Very disorganized; was told to expect several phone interviews, then phoned back an hour later to change to a short notice flight
Also found it very hard to get a hold of my HR contacts (I also had 3 at one point, so hard to know who to contact)
It was also surprisingly hard to accomodate a request for an interview using Jabber, or Webex as opposed to over a phone, took a good 10 minutes for the interviewer to get it setup for them.
Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
Recruiter reaches out after applying through Amazon careers, no referral. Had an initial OA, then after a month had four rounds in two days - three coding one system design. Each round had 30 min behavioral and 30 min coding.
