J'ai postulé en personne. Le processus a pris 4 jours. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Bengaluru) en mai 2010
Entretien
I contacted Amazon through a job listing. And a person from Amazon contacted me over the phone after 4 days. Initially, the interview seemed very tough, but the interviewer was kind and made me feel comfortable.
At first, the job description was given and I was explained my role in the company. Then, there followed a skills test and a technical round

Question 1
If there are 'n' computers connected in a circular node, what is the minimum hop required to reach the diagonally opposite computer, and what is the max possible hops. Use any algorithm to hop through computers.
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.

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
