I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2016
Interview
Interview process was standard, 2 phone interviews, onsite interview.
Interviewers are full of egoistic's, as they are working in a great company and rest of the people /companies are nothing to them. Please understand that every company has it's own problems and it's unique solutions. Don't expect everyone follow Amazon's strategy.
I understand that every company wants the person to fit their culture. But your culture ? No body wants to work in that kind of culture with that tiny salary.I can totally understand your culture by your questions and my answers. I'm here to Code not to fight with the rest of the company all the time. If you want someone to fight you should get someone from wrestling business.
Hope you get someone and hope he'll stay with you atleast 3 years. Sigh

Recruiter screen, followed by an online coding assessment and then a technical phone interview. The final round was a virtual onsite loop with multiple interviews covering data structures, system design, debugging, and Amazon Leadership Principles. The technical questions were practical but time-constrained, and the behavioural questions required specific examples using the STAR format.

Question 1
Design a scalable URL shortening service and explain how you would handle high read traffic, collisions, database schema, expiration, and basic monitoring.
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.
