J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Berlin) en nov. 2024
Entretien
1. Online Assessment: two parts - Hackerrank (two medium level leetcode style questions) and Workstyle assessment (basically a behavioral questionaire for hypothetical work situations).
2. Online Interview: three rounds of 1hr back-to-back interview. Each was one part behavioral (answer in STAR format) and one part technical.

1. Leetcode question: trapping rainwater.
2. Design / OOP: Design classes / data structures for a restaurant that has multiple pizza types and a salad, each has dressings with some specific price and quantity. We want to be able to calculate the price of some menu item.
3. General coding problem: You have a list of 10k product items, and want to display the user 10 of those every day they log in. How can we randomly chose 10 items with equal probability at each day from the list. Write a function for that (requires you to also come up with data structure or requirements like whether the input is modified etc.)

I had a first phone screen, which was an hour long, had 15 minutes of Hr questions based on Leadership Principles, then 45 minutes of real-time coding problems, You need to know a bit much about DSA to be able to pass the coding challenges, you must think out loud.

Question 1
What is the difference between a binary tree and a binary search tree?
They asked basic questions about technical stuff, then another purely technical round where I was given one main coding problem, followed by 4 follow-up questions/variations based on the initial problem.
First stage was the OA and workstyles assessment. After getting through it I faced the phone screen interview and I didn't get through it. The coding question was a pretty standard product categorisation coding problem
