I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
The interviewer believed he was technical, but repeatedly got the terminology wrong. He did not know the names of common languages (eg, awk) or commercial operating systems (eg Solaris, AIX) and described Amazon as not usung "stack" ranking, while public discussions had identified them as a using that as a ranking system.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Find a solutiuon to an open-ended search problem (about 1 line of awk in the trivial case)
They provided a Java code fragment that was clearly wrong.
The process and questions were suggestive of lack of preparation on their part, or just possibly an attempt to misinform the applicant.
Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long.
