J'ai postulé via une autre source. Le processus a pris 6 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en juin 2012
Entretien
A month after dropping my resume off at a hiring fair, I received an email requesting a phone interview.
There ended up being two phone interviews, both technical in nature and lasting one hour each. The questions were on Design, Object Oriented coding, algorithms, and some basic coding. If you practice the sample questions here on glass door, or look at "Hacking the Google Interview", you'll know what to expect.
After the phone interviews Amazon flew me down for a day of 1:1 interviews, almost all technical, which included white board coding and lunch.
Two days after the 1:1 interviews I received a call with an offer.
Questions d'entretien [2]
Question 1
Design a parking system, where each car is assigned a parking stall. What assumptions are you making? Any issues that could come up?
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.
