I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Surrey, BC) in June 2019
Interview
2 Online Assessments
1. 7 Debugging questions in 20 minutes, which wasn’t too bad. 24 logic questions in 35 minutes, which does not require any coding knowledge
2. 2 hrs of video simulation encompassing company behavioural/social situations. This was straightforward, and definitely did not need the whole 2 hrs. 70 minutes of 2 technical questions, which are just like the leetcode questions
In second round, I don’t think I made any prominent mistakes in video simulation, and I also got all the tests to pass for the technical portion, but got rejected.
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.
