J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en nov. 2012
Entretien
There were two rounds telephone interviews and I was selected to interview with the engineers in customer service department.

Question 1
It was an extended question regarding to binary tree. The tree consists of the numbers and the mathematics operations, like +, -, *, /. The root is the operator and its two children is the numbers. The question is how to calculate the result of the whole tree. I suggested to DFS the tree to reach the bottom. But my interviewer wanted me to use another way to solve the problem. I finally use recursion to solve the problem but it consumed too much time and I even didn't have time to do the second question.
Recruiter screen, followed by an online coding assessment and then a technical phone interview. The final round was a virtual onsite loop with multiple interviews covering data structures, system design, debugging, and Amazon Leadership Principles. The technical questions were practical but time-constrained, and the behavioural questions required specific examples using the STAR format.

Question 1
Design a scalable URL shortening service and explain how you would handle high read traffic, collisions, database schema, expiration, and basic monitoring.
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.

Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
