I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2017
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter and that conversation led to a technical phone screen. The phone screen went well and a month later I was flown out to Seattle for an onsite interview. I was very excited to go but this is where it all falls apart for me. After spending all day interviewing I was told I would get a call within 48 hours and they NEVER called me. I sent an email to the recruiter around 4 days after the interview and he never responded. Before I went out to the onsite he gave me his cell number and told me to call with any questions I have. So I called that number 2 days later and left a message and of course nothing back. I'm very disappointed with how they do business. I flew from Pennsylvania to Washington State, took 3 days off of work and they can't let me know the outcome? I assume now that I just didn't get the job but thats not how you deal with candidates who spend their time to interview with you. I'm sure many of you want jobs with Amazon but that experience will prevent me from ever dealing with them again. They make you sign an NDA but since they couldn't call me back the list of questions are listed below. Thank you.

Question 1
Find the max number in an array between start and end. The function would like:
findMaxbetween(start, end, array):
return maxNumber
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Question 1
Pergunta historicas baseada nos principios de lideranca da amazon.
The whole process stretched over nearly a month, longer than I anticipated. After an initial phone screen, I faced a technical round that included a Min Stack implementation question. We discussed design considerations and thread safety, which threw me for a bit. Fortunately, I remembered a specific mock interview I practiced on PracHub that mirrored this scenario closely, making me feel more at ease. Ultimately, I received an offer, but I chose to decline due to the company culture not feeling like the right fit.
