I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2010
Interview
Submitted resume and got an HR call-back. Chatted with HR a bit about the company and then schedule for a phone screen. first phone screen was approx 45 minutes long with programming question and algorithm questions. I screw up as I haven't prepared for the aged stuffs. Read and review your data structure books and programming books. Algorithm review is useful too. Overall the phone interviewer was nice and friendly.
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.
