Solicité el puesto a través de un captador. El proceso duró 5 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Seattle, WA) en dic 2011
Entrevista
2 rounds of phone interviews, then 6 on-site.
Standard tech interview questions: binary trees, string parsing. Lots of discussion of memory management, performance, managed vs unmanaged code. Whiteboard coding of course.
I ended up in a conference room where the interviewers came to me... this means that there were no breaks in between, so it ended up being rather rapid-fire and I wasn't thinking as clearly by the end of the day. All the interviewers were really nice though and would have been good coworkers.
Amazon seems like a fast-moving company with a lot of cool stuff happening. They're getting big but they haven't realized it yet... they need to grow up a bit and realize that working people to the bone is not sustainable nor does it produce good long-term results. They offer a lot of money but it's not so mind-blowing once you figure in healthcare costs, no annual bonus, etc. Lots of stock in the compensation, so your comp is strongly dependent on how you think the stock will do. At a P/E of > 100 (as of 12/11), there's not a lot of headroom there.

The interview process consisted of an online assessment followed by two technical interview rounds and one behavioral round. The technical rounds focused on Data Structures, Algorithms, Java, and problem-solving skills. The behavioral round covered Amazon Leadership Principles and past project experiences. The interviewers were professional and the process was well structured.
