      Software Development Engineer In Test Interview

      29 May 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Vancouver, BC
      No offer
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2012

      Interview

      This phone interview was scheduled as a 45-minute one. This was the second phone interview. But I didn't receive a phone call at the scheduled time. So I called the recruter 5 minutes after the scheduled time. I got a phone call later but there are problems with the quality of the voice. Either I or the interviewer can't hear the opposite. After tried several times, the interviewer switched to another phone to make a call to me. This time there're no problems. The interviewer was an American.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Given a binary search tree, search for the second largest element.
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      There's an array and a hash function. There are many incoming elements to be inserted into the array, and the index for each one is the hash key obtained from the hash function. There are four methods for this structure: insert, delete, find, printAll. (1) printAll should print all the elements in the array in the order they were inserted. How to implement this? (2) (After I have answered the first question) How to implement delete if your approach for (1) is used?
      1 Answer

      Question 3

      Write code for this function: determine how many words in a given string (char*). The code should be in C.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC) in May 2024

      Interview

      I applied through LinkedIn with reference. As usual, I received OA with middle LeetCode questions, which were pretty hard for me. After 4 month I was asked for Screening Interview, where recruiter explained me my interview path in 15 min. I scheduled my interview, but one day before I received an email about rescheduling and I was asked to give my schedule which I did. After one week I received another email, recruiter told me that the schedule doesn't work for them and I need to give another one (which is strange because I gave the whole week with business hours from 9 am till 6 pm). As soon as I sent my new schedule, I received the email that my position was filled already. This is the end of the story.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2021

      Interview

      Answered well in both telephonic and loop rounds. But felt the panel was in a rush to select a candidate. Rather than listening to the candidate they were taking down the notes. I am sure they must have missed few important points. Few of the interviewers in the panel are neither knowledgable nor interested. Not a good experience at all. Surprised to see such dumb candidates taking interviews in amazon !
