I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Cape Town) in Mar 2012
Interview
The recruiter contacted me and organized a few phone screens with skilled engineers. There was about 10 days between interviews. They asked intensely difficult technical questions, but were friendly and supportive. Brush up on network protocols and hash tables! The next stage was 5 on-site 1:1 interviews of about an hour each. Very difficult! No offer yet...
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.

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.
