I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2009
Interview
A recruiter contacted me directly after posting resume on multiple online job boards. A technical phone interview was setup for me. The recruiter warned me that it would be a highly technical interview covering such things as algorithms and data structures. This is something I have not used in years so I spent a lot of time preparing for this interview. I was interviewed by a software developer who was very nice.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given the function prototype for a function called secondLargest given a pointer to a list of integers, write down on a piece of paper how you would implement this function and read it back to me. Follow up questions included what is the complexity of your algorithm (O notation)? How would you extend it to do nthLargest element?
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).
2 behavioral 2 coding not very difficult. Behavioral is tell me about a time you took responsibility beyond your role and biggest accomplishment. The process is exactly the guideline they posted for interview.
