J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en juin 2016
Entretien
I submitted my resume to many recruiters in LinkedIn and one of them sent me a document. This doc had one algorithm question which was easy and one system design problem with 3 questions. I took two days to solve the system design question. Two weeks later, I was setup for onsite interview at Seattle. They covered travel, accommodation and dining expenses.
Onsite interview was medium-hard difficulty.
I had 4 rounds starting in the afternoon (no lunch).
All rounds were of 45 min duration with 30min technical and 15min behavorial
1st round - algorithm (interview went good)
2nd round - distributed system (interview was okay)
3rd round - system and object oriented design (bad..)
4th round - bar raiser - algorithm question. (good)
It seemed that each interviewer was targeting on some specific leadership principle during behavioral interview.
Be very prepared with genuine examples where you have demonstrated leadership principles.
Do not let one bad interview round affect the next one.
Questions d'entretien [2]
Question 1
Open ended discussion on how to scale and store data and have fallback servers and databases.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Entretien
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.
Questions d'entretien [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
