I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2013
Interview
The interview was on campus. There were total two technical interviews. The first one was not that difficult on technical stuff. Normal data structure, array operations questions. But the interview kind of judged me on the factors like communication skills, problem handling, presentation skills, etc. There were some questions about the problems faced in the real world scenario, and I was required to provide some efficient ways to solve that.
The second interview really tested the coding skills and logic development. But the questions were quite reasonable and I think that they were the fair tests for a personal who wants to get into a company like amazon. Overall, the interview procedure was impressive and quite fair.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
print the matrix in spiral format (inside out). Not that difficult, but challenging if you have not heard of the question before (as was the case with me)
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
One online assessment and one virtual interview included a coding round and leadership principle questions; overall, the process was fairly straightforward and not overly challenging for me throughout the experience.
2 rounds:
1st round: 3 behaviorals: Tell me about yourself, tell me about a time you used Gen AI, tell me about a time you faced a problem in one of your experiences
Leetcode similar to LRU Cache but a variant
2nd round: 3 more behaviorals; tell me about yourself, a specific experience in my internship, a time you disagreed with manager/peer on a project
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Pretty difficult OA didn't need to get full score. One round technical interview with SDE. Interview was pretty easy, most people I knew at school and friends ended up passing the interview. Took about 1 month to hear back after interview
