Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon (New York, NY) nel mese di mar 2026
Colloquio
I felt the interviewer was quite biased. When he asked me about the biggest concern with AI coding tools, I answered from the perspective of their impact on engineers. He immediately redirected the conversation and asked, “Do you know what hallucination is?” Honestly, I almost laughed because it felt very dismissive and condescending.

The coding question was very difficult. The interviewer, who was Indian, gave me what was clearly a hard-level problem — Snakes and Ladders. To be honest, I knew it should be solved with BFS, but as an international student, I had never played this game before, so I spent quite a lot of time just understanding the rules and problem setup.
Applied online via the company careers page. Received a reply from HR within a few weeks inviting me to an initial
screening call over Teams. Process also included an online coding assessment sent as a pre-interview step.
Communication from HR was professional, prompt, and friendly throughout the scheduling stage.

Standard background and motivation questions — what attracted me to the company, and a walk-through of recent
Could not use AI during the first interview. The recruiter was helpful in the screener but the coding exam was tough including the take home test. Did a few Leetcode examples but apparently that wasn't enough.
Online assessment then virtual technical interview about 3 months later. Technical interview had 3 coding questions to answer while sharing screen. The technical interview is split across different people and can be split into different time as well.
