I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2011
Interview
Applied through their web interface and received a communication from HR. Set up a time to talk where I had to be at a computer. They set up a whiteboard on which I was to post answers to their questions. Was completely unprepared; stammered, and clearly failed. The interviewer was not even paying attention, so it felt like a passthrough where the stakes were low and I just had to get those questions right. They weren't interested in anything I had to say about my experience.

Question 1
Fibonacci sequence: pseudocode it. Honestly, pretty easy, but you have to be prepared with quick answers to this and things like this.
Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney)
Interview
I can't comment much. I submitted an application for the software engineer position, and not even a minute later, I received an auto rejection email from Amazon (never received an online assessment).
2 behavioral 2 coding not very difficult. Behavioral is tell me about a time you took responsibility beyond your role and biggest accomplishment. The process is exactly the guideline they posted for interview.
