J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris plus d'une semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon en juill. 2015
Entretien
I applied online and was prompted to take an online code challenge after a few days. I was only allowed to use their testing site to answer the coding questions and was not allowed to consult the internet for anything. The coding challenge was set at 75 minutes and allowed me to pick between a few languages to use. None of the languages had third party libraries available to make solving the problems similar to how most do while programming on the job. There were a few days between every step of the process.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Sort a set of linked nodes; Determine if a string has balanced brackets. Studying up on what you learned in your algorithm courses in college will really help with this interview.

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.
