J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en févr. 2011
Entretien
Two phone screens, arranged fast within a week of each other.
1st screen: Find intersection of two arrays, Questions on OOD, Design a parking lot
2nd screen (much harder): Design an object model for arithmetic expressions, Find largest palindrome in a string
On-site arranged in 2.5 weeks. Downtown location/building was nice but offices looked very generic but employees looked very energetic and involved. 1-1 interviews with whiteboard coding with 5 people.
Questions such as: Find number in an array repeated an odd number of times, How to sort 100 million 10-bit numbers, Design a restaurant reservation system, Spiral print a 2-D array, Design and implement the Boggle word game, Given a reference to a node in a BST find the immediate predecessor.
Overall, a great company and a great opportunity for any SDE candidate. Very high energy, would be great for people looking for a start-up environment with the backing of a large well known company.
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.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Pergunta historicas baseada nos principios de lideranca da amazon.
The whole process stretched over nearly a month, longer than I anticipated. After an initial phone screen, I faced a technical round that included a Min Stack implementation question. We discussed design considerations and thread safety, which threw me for a bit. Fortunately, I remembered a specific mock interview I practiced on PracHub that mirrored this scenario closely, making me feel more at ease. Ultimately, I received an offer, but I chose to decline due to the company culture not feeling like the right fit.
