      Software Engineer Interview

      May 21, 2009
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2009

      Interview

      I post resume on Monster.com. Few days later, received a call from Amazon asked if I was interested in carrer opportunities with Amazon.com. I said yes, then they arranged a phone-screen three days later. During the phone-screen, the person asked some technical questions, something like: You are given two lists of strings, print out all the alphabet appear in the lists in order and how many times. Given a 2D 100*100 image, how will you shrink it to 50*50 image? Since you are working on web application, what would be the problem you think Amazon would encouter ? before asking technical question, he asked why Amazon and why left current position. After several technical questions, he started to talk about my resume. Describe the current job, specifically asked how did I do performance tuning (I listed an example on resume that one data loading module was 7 times faster than before being tuned). Finally, of course, he asked if i had any questions.

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.

      I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney)

      Interview

      I can't comment much. I submitted an application for the software engineer position, and not even a minute later, I received an auto rejection email from Amazon (never received an online assessment).
