J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en oct. 2018
Entretien
4 interviews in total. Everything was perfectly organized. All interviews started with behavioral questions regarding famous leadership principles. When you talk about your experience, they really go very deep. So you can’t get by with shallow examples, don’t even think about talking about things you don’t really know well.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
There was one question where I wasted half of time figuring out if it’s an algorithm question or system design question. I continuously asked questions to clarify that and it took 20min or so to understand that it’s an algorithm question... Sometimes even that is not clear from given requirements
