I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Indianapolis, IN) in Sep 2014
Interview
I sent my resume on campus and about several days, I got an email that they want to have an interview on campus.
The interview is totally technique questions. There are two algorithm questions. They want to explain what you are thinking and write code in a white board. And if the algorithm is not good, they will give you some hints.
Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
Recruiter reaches out after applying through Amazon careers, no referral. Had an initial OA, then after a month had four rounds in two days - three coding one system design. Each round had 30 min behavioral and 30 min coding.
