I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Ithaca, NY) in Oct 2012
Interview
Just had first phone Interview. Asked a bunch of background questions to which I think I talked to much maybe...But then he immediately moved into a simple coding question and then into a pretty tricky one. I tried my best and I'm not sure if I got through both. Afterwards, just chatted about the environment, work, management opportunities, etc which were important to me.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Not really difficult - just reverse an integer of arrays and return it.
Given any string, find the index of the start of the first duplicated 3-letter subsequence. For example, in abcabcdef, it would be 0, and abcdefdef would be 3, and then abcdefkajdkffatabcdef would be 0, and abcdefkajdkffatdef would be 3.

The interview process consisted of an online assessment followed by two technical interview rounds and one behavioral round. The technical rounds focused on Data Structures, Algorithms, Java, and problem-solving skills. The behavioral round covered Amazon Leadership Principles and past project experiences. The interviewers were professional and the process was well structured.
