I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2020
Interview
3 parts then final interview
OA1: 7 debugging problems in 20 minutes. Not difficult if you are proficient in Java, C, or C++
OA2: 2 leetcode problems in 75 minutes. Then a personality test without timelimit. Practice leetcode problems if you want to study for it
OA3: Work simulation - 2 hours followed by a 30 min cognitive test. The work simulation puts you in the shoes of an amazon employee and guages how you would react to various senarios and issues. Not really any way to study for this part except to look over their leadership principles.
Final Interview: Technical Interview ~ 45 min. Mine was not too difficult. Be prepared to answer any questions you have for your projects and practice solving problems using leetcode. Make sure you are comfortable explaining your thought process out loud before and while writing your code.
At the end, I got waitlisted, which means that I would have received an offer but they don't have any spots available at the moment.
Technical/coding problem: Write a Binary Search algorithm that returns the index of a target value. If not found, return the index of the highest value less than the target.
Two rounds, one technical and structured Second was a lot more just talking. It was fine overall, asked questions you would expect from an interview. Didn't end up passing, it is what it is
Was part of the women programme spring insight. Started off with an initial cv screen, then moved onto a hackerrank oa, and then we moved onto an in person workshop with an interview at the end
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked to discuss how I dealt with learning new things
Round 1: OA (Leetcode + behavioral)
Round 2: 1hr Zoom (Leetcode + behavioral)
The interviewer looked very disinterested and bored, like he did not want to be there at all.
