J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Cape Town) en déc. 2020
Entretien
The process starts with an initial phone screen interview which you must pass to proceed to the full day of interviewing consisting of 5 separate interviews.
Each interview is 45 mins to 1 hour long and is conducted by different Software Development Engineers.
Each interview could consist of coding and behavioural questions or just behavioural questions.

Question 1
Tell me of a time you had a disagreement with your manager.
Surprisingly easy — I expected tougher questions, but the coding round felt more like a warm-up. The main challenge was a DSA problem about counting islands in a 2D grid, which led to a discussion on DFS versus BFS and handling large grids. Funny enough, I had revisited that exact type of question while prepping on PracHub, which made me feel more confident. The interview wrapped up with a behavioral round, and I accepted an offer, but ultimately decided to decline it for another opportunity. Overall, it was a smooth experience.

Question 1
Number of Islands — given a 2D grid of '1's (land) and '0's (water), count the number of connected islands. Walk through DFS vs BFS, and discuss how to avoid revisiting cells (in-place mutation vs visited set) and what changes if the grid is huge and must stream from disk.
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.
Um teste de código online, se aprovado, vai para o loop. O loop é 4 entrevistas seguidas, duas em inglês e duas em português. 3 entrevistas técnicas de código, todas as 4 têm pergunta de liderança.
