I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2011
Interview
I was contacted by an Amazon recruiter after putting my resume up on Dice.com. Within a week a phone interview was scheduled. The phone interview took 45-50 minutes focusing entirely on technical questions. Within a day of the interview I was contacted to arrange a second phone interview. I received the following instructions when I first set up the interview:
This phone interview will be technical in nature and you should be prepared to answer questions related to the following:
Data Structures
Algorithms
Object Oriented Programming and Design (at Amazon we primarily use C++, Java, Perl, Ruby)
Problem Solving
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Given two arrays, write a method to find their intersection?
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.
