Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon en avr. 2010
Entretien
Was scheduled for a phone interview round last week , a week after I applied. The interview started with resume scanning and the interviewer asked questions on my projects, which I answered confidently. Later, I was asked about Linked List, Binary trees. He asked me what big oh notation meant, and the time complexities of linked list and binary trees. I was asked what was the worst case scenario of a Binary Search tree. He then asked me what balanced and unbalanced binary trees were, and asked me to write a code on self balancing binary trees. I have not received a reply about the outcome for the phone interview since last week
My perception is that the company looks for applicants who demonstrate a 'can do it attitude' when given a tough problem.

Question 1
Write a program that balances an unbalanced binary tree.
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.

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
