I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Dec 2011
Interview
An internal Amazon recruiter contacted me after receiving my resume from an outside recruiter. I had two technical telephone (online) interviews and one day-long interview with several developers and managers. My best advice is, be very calm going in. Know what you have to offer, and make that clear. This group didn't make me jump through trivial puzzle hoops; the questions were meaningful and to the point. Enjoyed everyone I talked with.

Interview
Recruiter send me an OA and even I did'nt attend it yet, she told me that I failed. After some research they notice they screen my previous OA result. I don't like this lack of system.

Interview
First there was the recruiter interview to gather some information. Followed by 5 rounds "on-site remote" with average difficulty, but with some poor performing interviewers. Got denied and was promised feedback but got ghosted.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2022
Interview
Typical Amazon procedure: recruiter reaches out. This time, instead of just clicking the delete button, I was actually intrigued with the team: their LEO satellite group.
Pretty much breezed through the HR interview, and then proceeded to the first-round screen. I aced the coding part, and thought I said everything they wanted to hear (coding solution, the (now 16, used to be 14!) Leadership Principles they seem to drink like Kool-Aid over there. Signs pointed to going to the next round of interviewing.
Alas, they passed on me, while continuing to hide behind their veil of non-accountability. Well, I'm done with these Darwin clowns. There are many other good opportunities out there, that are NOT Amazon!

Question 1
Linked-list question (aced it)
Find all 2x2 sub-arrays inside a larger array (didn't get to that, but I'm sure it's on Leetcode somewhere).
Post-word: I got approached by Amazon twice since then. No thanks!
