The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2011
Interview
I had two phone interviews with different individuals each lasting about and hour. The interviews were technical in nature. However, they were less about language semantics and more about algorithm design and data structures. The questions inevitably led to the topic of performance in both interviews. Big -O evaluations were asked about the code that you implemented over the phone.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write an algorithm to check if an array holds a string value that you are passing in.
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.
