I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
After a friend employee referred me, I was contacted by email. A test schedule was set and an online test was conducted. After that initial screening, the team flew into the city to undergo several interviews with pre-selected candidates.
It took the interviewers 4 hours to daisy chain and interview every candidate.
Interviewers asked questions regarding personal life, computer science, and problems in general.
