I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Dec 2009
Interview
I was contacted by amazon recruiter for phone screen. The first phone screen tooks an hour and I was asked question about some C++ question and algorithm. two days later they come back to me and scheduled a second round phonescreen. The process is same as the first one; and guess I screwed up; 2 days (again) later I was informed via email that I failed :(

First round is just leet code coding which screens through AI before going into live coding. Pretty simple and straighforward. Not too tough. Recruiter walks through it pretty nicely. Not sure how many rounds there are exactly
After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
