I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in July 2009
Interview
Had a phone interview which was not bad. I did not have the optimal solution for the coding question, i.e. my solution was O(N2) while I'm sure there must have been a O(N) soltution, plus general C++,java questions. Couldn't answer one DB question. Got the next 1:1 interview where the it was all about data structures algorithms. Pretty intense and had to be on toes throughout the day.
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.
Um teste de código online, se aprovado, vai para o loop. O loop é 4 entrevistas seguidas, duas em inglês e duas em português. 3 entrevistas técnicas de código, todas as 4 têm pergunta de liderança.
Interview questions [1]
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.
