The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Sept 2010
Interview
I had two phone screen interviews with Amazon team for kindle.
The interviews went extremely well and I was told that the next step would be to fly me down. But i was rejected without any constructive feedback.
Although, it was a good experience and I learnt that Amazon is migrating from C++ to Java; hence it would be advantageous for someone with experience in both or in java primarily to find a place. I am speculating thats the main reason i was rejected, I being more well-versed in C++.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
Give two arrays. Return an array with product of all elements in the array divided by the element at index.
Example A[3] = { 1, 2, 3 } return
B[3] = { 6/1, 6/2, 6/3}
In O(n)
Gave an example and asked to choose array or link list for its implementation.
Requires many read operations based on position of element. Minumum insertions.
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.
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.
