The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2012
Interview
Had 2 technical phone screen, focusing ONLY on algorithms and data structures.
1st Phone interview questions: Print first 'N' prime numbers
Given key-value pairs, sum up the values of same keys and save them in a data structure. What if you want to retain the order of keys entered? For ex: if the user enters
B-1, A-2, C-3, A-1, B-6 the keys must be saved in teh given order B-7,A-3,C-3
2nd Phone interview: Only 1 question - Given 'n' integers, n being very large, print the numbers in a given range. Ex; print all the numbers between 100 and 200. What data structures to use.
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.
Interview questions [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.
