I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2010
Interview
I uploaded my resume on their website and got an email within a week to schedule an interview. Due to personal reasons, I had to reschedule a couple of times. Then on the day of the interview, I got a call exactly at the scheduled time. Interview was fine, but the interviewer was not clear with the questions himself. This got me a bit irritated.
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.
