I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2010
Interview
Got a call from company's recruiter and have a phone interview. The recruiter is very proactive since I originally only get an email and I did not respond to it. Then a week or two later the recruiter called me.
The phone interview is long (around 1hr 15min) The interviewer did not ask many questions on my job but instead ask me several technical questions.
The interviewer is fair but he did not volunteer any hints.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a binary tree, how do you create a function that can swap the binary tree? (i.e. the left child becomes the right child and vice versa)
From this function you just created, can you create another function that will swap the tree in Alternate level? (i.e. swap 1 level and then the next level does not swap)
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.
