      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Haiderabad) in Dec 2012

      Interview

      Recruiter had short-listed my profile from one of the job portals and contacted me to schedule an online coding test on interviewstreet. The questions were: 1. Find all prime numbers before the given number n. 2. Find the kth largest number in a BST 3. Find the transpose of a given matrix. 4. Given a directory with several different files. Find the student with max avearge number. one more, which I dont remember. Time given was 2 hrs. After going through, had the first telephonic round. Questions asked were: 1. Find the missing card in a deck. The cards are passed as a stream of input. 2. Find the median of 2 sorted arrays. 3. Construct a tree from the post and preorder traversals. [Asked to mail the code for the same within 15-20 mins.] I messed up and hence within a week got a regret mail, but the experience helped me in identifying my areas of improvement.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Find the missing card: I gave an O(n) space approach using hashtables, but he wanted a much better optimized solution, after some thinking thought of using only required bits or using the cards as an A.P., however these thoughts came after the interview.

      Interview

      Empresa extremamente clara sobre o que é pedido na entrevista e isso me mostra a seriedade. Minha experiencia foi positiva e tente se atentar a resolver o problema e não somente decorar padrões do leetcode.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Calgary, AB) in Jun 2026

      Interview

      Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
