J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris plus d'une semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en nov. 2011
Entretien
I went through two phone interviews, but Amazon did not proceed to the next step. The first interview went decently well. It started off with basic Java/Object Oriented questions, and then moved to many performance related questions (Big O), such as the Big O of Java collections objects. There is also coding on a shared screen towards the end of the interview, and the interviewer would ask you to optimize the performance of your code. The second interview was similar to the first in terms of question structure. However, this interviewer had a heavy accent, so it was a bit difficult to understand some of the questions. In addition to the coding on a shared screen, this interviewer also had you give pseudocode over the phone for another exercise. After hearing that they were not going to proceed with the face to face interview in Seattle (with no reason given), I was contacted another 5 times within the next month and a half by other people recruiting full time positions for Amazon. My impression from all of this is that Amazon tries to go through a ridiculously large amount of interviewees across the entire country, and picks a very small % of them to actually hire. This part turned me away from trying for any other position.

Question 1
What would you change about the Amazon website and why?
Which sorting algorithm would be good for sorting small-sized integer arrays and why? What is the performance? What about for large-sized integer arrays?
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.

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

Entretien
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.
