The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Oct 2010
Interview
i got this interview thru a career fair. The recruiter contacted me to setup an interview witheir Engineer, he forgot his appointment and called in late. The interview was easy, he asked me to write a code and read it out. Also he asked me to mail it to him. I followed up after a couple of weeks and and realized that, the clumsy interviewer missed my email
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.
