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.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2012
Interview
I went through three phone interviews. All technical, including coding on a shared doc and focusing on
1. data structures, like the comparison between array and linked list, time complexity of hashtables, how to avoid hash collisions and tree traversal(BFT), and so on.
2. OOP, the concept of encapsulation, virtual functions, etc.
3. Algorithms, like finding the intersection of two linked lists.
I thought I handed well, especially the last one, but didn't get the on-site anyway.
Um teste de código online, se aprovado, vai para o loop. O loop é 4 entrevistas seguidas, duas em inglês e duas em português. 3 entrevistas técnicas de código, todas as 4 têm pergunta de liderança.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pergunta historicas baseada nos principios de lideranca da amazon.
The whole process stretched over nearly a month, longer than I anticipated. After an initial phone screen, I faced a technical round that included a Min Stack implementation question. We discussed design considerations and thread safety, which threw me for a bit. Fortunately, I remembered a specific mock interview I practiced on PracHub that mirrored this scenario closely, making me feel more at ease. Ultimately, I received an offer, but I chose to decline due to the company culture not feeling like the right fit.
