I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services in July 2024
Interview
Amazon's interview process is known for its focus on problem-solving, data structures, algorithms, and optimizing solutions for efficiency. The feedback to "reduce complexity" suggests that the interviewers were looking for solutions that are not only correct but also optimized in terms of time and space complexity.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Chattanooga, TN) in Nov 2023
Interview
Four 1-hour interviews with 4 different leads. The interview consisted of a "Describe a time" question and then a whiteboard coding session. There was a 30 minute break between the first two and the last two. Generally these interviews were friendly, but whiteboarding code is usually stressful.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time you were given a task that you could not complete and how did you handle it?
