      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Cape Town) in Apr 2022

      Interview

      I had a total of 4 interviews. The first interview was a phone interview where it started off with a few technical questions combined with behavioral questions. The total time was 1 hour. The next 3 were all on one day and all followed the exact same structure. Each starting off with behavioral questions and then moving onto the technical aspect of the interview. These 3 were more in depth questions. For each behavioral question they asked deeper and to describe it in depth.

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      Programming question - Given 2 sorted arrays, merge them. Follow up, ensure only 1 of each element is saved in the merged array aka no duplicates.
      2 Answers

      Question 2

      Programming question - Given reverse polish notation, return the integer value of the expression aka "5,3,+,2,/" would be 5 + 3 = 8 and then 8 / 2 = 4.
      1 Answer

      Question 3

      Programming question - Add spaces to a sentence given a sentence and dictionary. "iloveamazon" should return "i love amazon" for example.
      2 Answers

      Question 4

      Programming question - check if string has balanced brackets, firstly with "()" only and thereafter adding all other brackets such as "[]{}<>".

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      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.
