J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Redmond, WA) en août 2023
Entretien
The process consisted of an assessment followed by four virtual interviews. The assessment was fairly standard, just two LeetCode questions. The first interview was run-of-the-mill. The second and third interviews were by far the best - the interviewers were great and gave very helpful feedback. The last interview was a nightmare. It was clear from the beginning that the interviewer was not prepared for the interview and didn't care to be giving one. His coding question was not prepared ahead of time, his expectations were unclear, and he was very rude and impatient when asked clarifying questions. I ended the interview 15 minutes early rather than endure his abuse. I hope nobody else has the misfortune of interviewing with him. Overall, it was an alright experience. I just wasn't prepared enough for it
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
LeetCode easy and hard for assessment All of the virtual interviews consisted of behavioral questions related to Amazon leadership principles followed by a standard coding or system design question
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.

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.

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

Entretien
Recruiter reached out and set up an onsite loop after the initial steps. Four back to back rounds in one day. Two coding heavy rounds run by senior engineers, one round with the hiring manager, and one behavioral round with a bar raiser. Mix of leadership principles and data structures throughout. Heard back within a week.

Question 1
Standard BFS grid problem. Given a grid, find the time for all cells to reach a target state where the spread happens one layer at a time.
How did you answer: Clarified the constraints, walked through the approach, then coded a clean BFS from all starting points at once. Tracked the number of layers until everything was covered.
