The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Ashburn, VA) in Jun 2009
Interview
I received my call for employment opportunity with Amazon and within week i had my first round. The interview was straight forward, with questions around Algorithms/Data Structures and basic bit operation. Really simple.
Questions were.
1. Given an array with n integers from 1 to n-1, one number is a duplicate, find the duplicate number.
2. given 8-bits give range of signed and unsigned integer values possible.
and some other similar questions.
Was later asked to submit a coding question, implemented in any OO language suited.
The question was to design a deck of cards, with shuffle and deal a card functions to be necessarily included.
Now i'm awaiting my second round to be held this week.

Question 1
Also, given a large list of stars, with they're co-ordinates, give a smaller number of closest stars, to earth, with earth as origin, and the best and most optimum way to do this.
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.
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.
