The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2010
Interview
A couple of technical questions such as how to make hash tables more efficient, if we have a reference string and an array of strings how do we find out which string in the array contains the same letters as the sources string in an efficient manner.

Question 1
Having a reference string and an array of strings how do we write an efficient algorithm to find which string in the array contains the same letters as the reference array
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.
