I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2016
Interview
Applied online, and received an online assessment. Failed, because did not finished the first two part, which is debugging and logical questions. Obviously that they don't care about the coding in the first part of OA. Some of my friends received the second OA just because they had finished the debugging and logical questions.
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.
