Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Seattle, WA) en feb 2012
Entrevista
My resume was found by recruiter from Seattle that applied on my behalf to Amazon.com. Initially everything went pretty smoothly. First interview was phone interview conducted by non-technical person who had a list of questions and wrote my answers. After that they send me coding assignment that I had to finish in 24 hours. This "skills test" consisted of 8 different assignments that required writing the actual code. Some assignments were small and easy and some pretty big and complicated. All in all it was pretty difficult to finish them in 24 hours especially for working person. After they reviewed code of assignments I have been invited to interview event in Toronto. They just "forgot" to mention that interview will take place at 25th floor and that was deal breaker for me. So as a result I didn't show up for in-person interview and got "no-offer".

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.
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.
