J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon en mai 2012
Entretien
I had three phone interviews. No onsite. First one went really well, second one was so so, third one (decider) did not go well. Here were my questions spread over all three interviews (that I remember):
1) Return the nth fibonacci number
2) Asked me some basic OO questions (interface, abstraction, OO)
3) Write isBalanced(String str), which returns true or false for whether or not the string has properly matched and balanced parentheses
4) Design a parking lot system
5) Design a chess system.
I wasn't feeling it with the interviewer in the second and third interview. When you get stuck, stay position. Keep talking about what you're thinking. Keep engage. Try to stay relaxed and a solution will come to you.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Most questions were posted here on Glassdoor. Just go through and create a list of common questions. Study seriously for a month if you can.
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.

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

Entretien
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.
