The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2011
Interview
Hi,
There are 2 rounds of phone interview and a on-site to get into Amazon. I cleared first phone interview in which they asked me only two questions. One was to convert int to string without using any library and second one was to generate random numbers again without using any library.
After 2 weeks I have to write a follow-up mail and then they set up aother phone interview in which they mostly asked about data structure, sorting and C/C++ question.
I waited for 4 weeks and after 2 follow-up mail, I received a reject mail.
