I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2012
Interview
I applied using the university system and the interview was scheduled through that.
There seemed to be some problems with email communication since I would occasionally fail to receive emails that were sent to applicants.
There were a lot of interviews on campus (I think they interviewed at least 50 people within 2 days) so everything was well-automated. The format was 2 back-to-back 45 minute 1-1 interviews with developers from different teams.
In general, I would recommend brushing up on basic algorithms and also reading up on Amazon services, especially all the web and cloud systems.

Serialize (flatten) and de-serialize a binary tree. First describe the approach, then write the code.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.
Um teste de código online, se aprovado, vai para o loop. O loop é 4 entrevistas seguidas, duas em inglês e duas em português. 3 entrevistas técnicas de código, todas as 4 têm pergunta de liderança.

Question 1
Pergunta historicas baseada nos principios de lideranca da amazon.
The whole process stretched over nearly a month, longer than I anticipated. After an initial phone screen, I faced a technical round that included a Min Stack implementation question. We discussed design considerations and thread safety, which threw me for a bit. Fortunately, I remembered a specific mock interview I practiced on PracHub that mirrored this scenario closely, making me feel more at ease. Ultimately, I received an offer, but I chose to decline due to the company culture not feeling like the right fit.
