I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2010
Interview
First, I get contact with Amazon recruiter and then followed by two phone interviews which lasted for 1 hr of each. On-site interview took place two weeks later after phone interview, which lasts for a whole day, seeing 6 employers in 5 groups (there were two Amanzonians forming a single group). Each group took 1-hr meeting, asking for technical and non-technical questions.
Questions include algorithms, design patterns, behavior questions, brain teasers.
You are given 3 chances to drop a non-biased dice (with number from 1-6). You can stop earlier, but the number of final drop is the money you can get. Give a strategy to maximize the money you can get.
Applied online via the company careers page. Received a reply from HR within a few weeks inviting me to an initial
screening call over Teams. Process also included an online coding assessment sent as a pre-interview step.
Communication from HR was professional, prompt, and friendly throughout the scheduling stage.

Question 1
Standard background and motivation questions — what attracted me to the company, and a walk-through of recent
OA contained 2 coding questions and then followed by a multiple choice question on behavioral where they emphasized a lot on their leadership rules which you can find on their website

Question 1
What is customer obsession and how do you apply it
Could not use AI during the first interview. The recruiter was helpful in the screener but the coding exam was tough including the take home test. Did a few Leetcode examples but apparently that wasn't enough.
