I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Pékin, Pékin) in Aug 2012
Interview
1. A recruiter phoned me to ask a few simple questions and a test of my English level
2. A online coding test containing 2 intermediate level coding questions
3. Onsite, 4 rounds of skill test, one with the bar raiser and another one with the manager of the team you applied for.
4. A lunch with the manager. Talking about casual stuff
5. HR contacted me 3 or 4 days after the interview and negotiated me about the offer.
6. I received offer one week after the call from HR
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in May 2012
Interview
One phone screening and 3 rounds of technical interviews. Later was called for one bar riser and one hiring manager interviews. Technical interviews were really nice and was able to crack all of them. Preparing with standard interview questions did the trick. Nothing unexpected came up.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2012
Interview
2 phone interviews, standard coding, data struct and Big O complexity, nothing too difficult.
5 onsite interviews. Much more coding, basic data structs, much more grilling on OOP design. I felt, i did really well, but guess not good enough !
Most ppl were nice except one young engineer. He was quite rude to me.
Overall positive experience at AWS.
