J'ai postulé via une autre source. Le processus a pris 8 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en févr. 2009
Entretien
Initially contacted by HR to consider a position. Went through 3 phone interviews from the same group. All very technical programming / algorithm questions. Then I went for a site visit in Seattle, which was very well organized. Hotel was excellent. Next day was a full day interview. Morning was 3 1 hour interviews with team members and 1 manager. Another interview during lunch with a brain teaser. 3 more 1 hour interviews in the afternoon, 2 technical, 1 HR.
Overall I thought I did very well in the morning. After lunch was downhill. Be careful what you eat during lunch! All the blood went from my brain to my stomach and the interview room in the afternoon was a small room with no windows. Combine that with some jet-lag (I flew in from the east coast). No surprise I didn't get an offer.
Overall atmosphere was very young, casual and diverse. Very university-like. People walking around in backpacks. One girl came in the morning walking and working on her laptop at the same time.
Expenses paid as promised. Direct deposit to my bank account.

Question 1
What is customer obsession and how do you apply it
Could not use AI during the first interview. The recruiter was helpful in the screener but the coding exam was tough including the take home test. Did a few Leetcode examples but apparently that wasn't enough.
