J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon
Entretien
I got an assessment from Amazon and soon after that I got a mail to schedule final loop interview. The only problem was I didn't knew if it was SDE1 interview or SDE2 interview since I had four rounds.I mailed my recruiters multiple times but no one replied, then I asked a friend who works at amazon to check internally and I found out it's an SDE2 role. I got cold feet since I was preparing for SDE1 based on my level of exp. So during the prep call(part of preparation before interview), I talked with the Host(Speaker) that I feel SDE1 L4 is more suited for me and also how my recruiters are not replying to any of my mails, then she asked if I graduated within last 24 months and I said yes, then she said she will contact my recruiter and will mail her. So, following this, my reccruiter out of the blue just canceled my interview(without even asking me) and told me she will try to schedule a SDE1 interview. And after that she ghosted me. I contacted her several times but she didnt even replied. I know I should have gone with the SDE2 interview, but I thought they might have power to schedule me an New grad SDE1 interview since I graduated in last 12 months. My recruiter had no right canceling my interview without even asking me or scheduling another interview.
Worst recruiters and no decency to reply to mail.

Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
The phone screen went longer than expected, focusing heavily on implementation details. The interviewer really grilled me on my approach to a Least Recently Used (LRU) cache, asking how I'd combine a hashmap with a doubly linked list. I felt well-prepared since I had gone through system design examples on PracHub, which made me comfortable discussing eviction policies. The later rounds included more technical questions and behavioral interviews, but in the end, I received an offer, though I ultimately decided to decline. Overall, I’d say the process was average, with solid questions.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Design and implement a Least Recently Used (LRU) cache supporting get(key) and put(key, value) in O(1) average time. Walk through combining a hashmap with a doubly linked list, eviction policy when capacity is exceeded, and how you'd extend it to handle thread-safe concurrent access.
