I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2010
Interview
I met with a very intelligent gentleman at CodeMash and I was asked if I would like to interview on the spot. I took them up on the interview, spur of the moment.
I found the skills questions to be vague, and the more you tried to formulate an answer the more requirements they would place in your way. I found it to be a great exercise and was happy for the experience. Not only did it shine a spotlight on my inability to think in code on paper, but I also learned some things too.
The interviewers were extremely polite and understanding if I was not familiar with a concept, they would attempt to educate you so that you can still formulate and answer to their question and/or problem.
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.
