I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Tempe, AZ) in Mar 2018
Interview
Got contacted by the recruiter. Coding challenge was average. After that got invited for an onsite interview. Signed NDA, so can't reveal exact questions, but brush up Data Structures and Algorithms. They also give focus on behavioral questions (especially Amazon Leadership Principles).
Unfortunately, no offer is made. 3 coding interviews went well, but I think royally bombed system design question. And as an SDE-II, you should be good at it.
Tempe team is friendly and helpful. Overall good experience. Maybe someday I will meet them again. ;)
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Kyiv, ) in Feb 2018
Interview
I was an attendee at hiring event for AWS team.
Firstly, online round with algorithmic problems.
After the successful first stage, 4-6 person interviews with the team (one-to-one). 50% are behavioral questions, and rest are technical.
Implement LRU cache. How would you resolve concurrency? How would you deploy it? How would you handle the situation when the cache will be really huge and distributed along a lot of machines.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Londen, Engeland)
Interview
The process started with an online 2 qsts challange.
After that I got invitation for onsite in London.
4 seperate consequent interviews. Recruiters and people I met were all polite and friendly. I failed becuase I skipped some of the fundemental topics. Do not get hurry, be prepare well for algorithms and data structures!
