I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
In troduce my background in English and Japanese, answer some technical questions.
The interviewer was very nice, but i little bit confuse when explain the Big-O of my solution.
I think that why i can not get the offer cause "You may not strong in the egde case" as the feedback after meetting.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Oct 2014
Interview
2 phone interviews were easy with basic CS questions
overall interview was not difficult but I totally failed on system design question
want to mention that they did not compensated my flight and living - I cant get money from them for 3 months already. When I spam them with mails they say - we failed to transfer money and will do this week, then went silent again. Nordea bank where I had interview couple of days later transferred money in couple of days with same credentials provided!!

Interview
phone interview is very difficult than normal interview, because I can't explain my answers that way.
they send me an email and ask me to set time for phone interview. then on that time, someone called me exactly on the time and start to ask me about data structure and algorithms.
the whole process of questions take 90 min and he ask me to solve a programming problem without any IDE in an environment like notepad.
I really do not know if this kind of interview is suitable or no, but i think thats a bad idea.
