I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2017
Interview
Code test online followed in-person 4-hour session. Recruiter gave me only a week timeframe before flying up to interview, and was sat in a room with lots of whiteboards. Interviewers gave no indication of the culture of the company, looked tired and unhappy, and had really no idea what I would be working on. Lots of white board coding sessions with no feedback. No interview feedback after the interview. Happy to not receive an offer.
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.
