I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2013
Interview
2 back to back phone interviews: asked to implement a queue, asked about quick sort, iterator, stl, sorting an array and knowledge about c++. Nothing difficult. The interviewer goes straightly to technical questions. Both are friendly and helpful. First used Collabedit to write code online, second required to dictate code through phone.
Other Software Developer Intern Interview Reviews for Amazon
Hackerrank round first and then two LC questions as the final round (BFS/DFS medium). Also had a behaviour component, testing the leadership principles and how my experiences aligned with them.
Expect one behavioral LP question followed by a leetcode medium or hard for two rounds. Be prepared to answer in depth on the behavioral questions and review LeetCode’s list of questions from Amazon.
