J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon en juin 2021
Entretien
The interview took an hour, most of it was dedicated to a coding exercise.
I heard many times about not very favorable atmosphere at Amazon and now I completely can understand why.
I was given a concrete task and I think I offered the most efficient solution for it The interviewer rejected it saying it will not work. I went through the code serval times, and tried to get a hint from the reviewer why it would not, not avail. Just "No". Then I tried to explain line by line why it would work and the interviewer just went ballistic. I should have used his algorithm ! ( which I think is more verbose and less efficient)
There was zero efforts to try understanding the proposed solution and whole " I am always right" attitude
Surely one example is not a representation of the whole company, but I can only imagine what conditions software developers find themselves if they accept offers and find this situation in their teams. I will probably not get an offer, but I would not accept it if I got it.

Recruiter screen. Then 2 coding interviews then onsite rounds (another coding question, then a system design question, then HM behavioral interview). System design was simpler than other companies. Coding was leetcode ish
