I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Sep 2010
Interview
At the beginning I was contacted by LinkedIn for a Technical Recruiter. She almost immediately set up the first phone interview. Two days after I got a technical phone interview with a really nice guy. He asked me if I knew about the position and He explained me shortly some of the details. After that we started with some programming questions: Determine the number of bits on in a bit array and then how to get the binary number from a decimal number. After that we discussed about how to design a File System using OO and at the end he asked me if I had any question to him.
In the second interview the process started different. She asked some question related to my current job, how to deal with estimations and how we solved difficult situations. after that she asked to get the height of a Binary tree and we discuss some test scenarios.
I am still waiting for response.
Interview by recuriter, Phone interview over Chime with one easy Leet code problem and 2 behavioral questions. Although the interviewer was very casual at the start of the conversation, it quickly changed into behavioral questions at the start.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Encoding optimization algorithm and talk about a project you did recently.
First round is just leet code coding which screens through AI before going into live coding. Pretty simple and straighforward. Not too tough. Recruiter walks through it pretty nicely. Not sure how many rounds there are exactly
After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
