J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en janv. 2007
Entretien
I had a phone screen with one of the senior engineers on the team. He asked me a series of software engineering questions involving Object Oriented design. It wasn't too hard of an interview as they started off with feeler questions such as "What is polymorphism? What is a hash table" It then moved on to algorithms where they wanted me to come up with the algorithm to shuffle a deck of cards. Afterwards, they wanted me to analyze the Big O(n) run time of my algorithm. I was then invited to an on campus interview that consisted of talking to 4 different software engineers. Every single engineer was constantly making me code on the whiteboard. I would definitely practice coding on the whiteboard before coming to the interview. They didn't care which language I used. They also have a bar raiser who is supposed to make you sweat. All in all, the interview process was fair.
Questions d'entretien [2]
Question 1
How would you implement a top 3 word count in a text editor application?
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.

Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together

Recruiter reached out and set up an onsite loop after the initial steps. Four back to back rounds in one day. Two coding heavy rounds run by senior engineers, one round with the hiring manager, and one behavioral round with a bar raiser. Mix of leadership principles and data structures throughout. Heard back within a week.

Question 1
Standard BFS grid problem. Given a grid, find the time for all cells to reach a target state where the spread happens one layer at a time.
How did you answer: Clarified the constraints, walked through the approach, then coded a clean BFS from all starting points at once. Tracked the number of layers until everything was covered.
