I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2017
Interview
Standard Amazon mega-interview. Onsite, all-day interview with many people probing for alignment to Amazon values. Some white boarding problems, some just general Q&A style. Was flown down to Seattle to interview at HQ.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you create a database schema for a recommender system?
Applied, Recruiter Screen then nothing. Not sure when I'll get a call back. The process seems super complicated. Will apply again now that I know what they are looking for.
HR Screening was scheduled. Then 1 technical screening phone interview was scheduled, followed by two Behavioral interviews, followed by two System design interviews, followed by 1 bar raiser interview. Lastly there was an offer.
