      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2010

      Interview

      My interview experience starting with a visit to the career fair at my school. Amazon got right to business by asking me how to solve two coding questions on a high level and writing some pseudo-code on the back of my resume. After this, they told me they would get back to me in a couple of days on whether or not they were still interested in me. Two days later, I got an email from the recruiter that they were interesting in moving forward with my application and would like to move forward with my application. I was invited to a HQ interview in Seattle. I was informed that I would be apart of a group-project interview where I would be randomly assigned to work with 2 other candidates on a day long project. Fast forward to the interview day: upon arriving at Amazon at around 9am, I and all the other candidates were placed into a room where we listened to presentations from current employees and were given the opportunity to ask questions about the culture, their lives, etc...After this, we were split up into groups, the project was revealed to us, and we set off to work. I can not go into the details of the project or anything, but be prepared to do real coding if you are selected for this type of interview.

      Interview

      Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.

      I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney)

      I can't comment much. I submitted an application for the software engineer position, and not even a minute later, I received an auto rejection email from Amazon (never received an online assessment).
