Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 1 día. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Seattle, WA) en jun 2012
Entrevista
Interviewer was not very friendly, sounded like he wasn't interested in interviewing, and was fishing for cookie cutter answers to cookie cutter questions. One question involved a non-standard data structure that the interviewer refused to define for me but wanted to ask questions about. I was going off of general programming experience and college CS, but it seems like that isn't enough and you need to read all of those "100 CS interview secrets!" books cover to cover so you have the same question bank as them. If accepted, I wouldn't have joined, because the interview was indicative of a workplace where requirements are not properly defined and you're just supposed to dream up what is expected of you among uncooperative peers. I ended up interviewing for and accepting a level 3 position at a company of equal reputation a month after this.

Entrevista
Recruiter explicitly mentioned that the Technical Phone Screen interview did not contain any Behavioral question but the interviewer definitely asked 3 behavioral questions.
The coding problem was utterly garbage, it was a pretty trivial problem that anyone that knows DFS would be able to solve. That is not appropriate for a SDE 2 role. Not even useful to demonstrate candidate skills
PS: They care a lot more about what you've accomplished than whatever you can accomplish based on your skills

Technically, the questions were of medium difficulty and with good polish, you should be able to solve these questions. The main challenge in Amazon is of the Leadership Principles which involve citing real work experience in the STAR format.
