Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto più di una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon nel mese di apr 2016
Colloquio
First I had to fill a form sent by the recruiter asking for my information and current salary. Then I had to write a HackerTest and answer 3 questions. Then there was a phone chat (I wouldn't call interview) just to explain the in-person interview process. Then I went through 4 1-hour interviews. All of them were technical and asking to solve different programming problems.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
1. Design a solution to filter a list based on criteria. This question is about API design and organizing the code to be flexible and maintainable.
2. System design question. Design a solution similar to google news.
3. Data structures question. How to build a distributed hash.
4. Algorithm question. How to calculate the highest and lowest stock price for a year period.

Colloquio
Recruiter explicitly mentioned that the Technical Phone Screen interview did not contain any Behavioral question but the interviewer definitely asked 3 behavioral questions.
The coding problem was utterly garbage, it was a pretty trivial problem that anyone that knows DFS would be able to solve. That is not appropriate for a SDE 2 role. Not even useful to demonstrate candidate skills
PS: They care a lot more about what you've accomplished than whatever you can accomplish based on your skills

1. OA (2 Medium Hard Questions along with some Work Related Assessment which tested design related concepts)
2. HLD
3. DSA
4. LLD
5. Bar Raiser
Technically, the questions were of medium difficulty and with good polish, you should be able to solve these questions. The main challenge in Amazon is of the Leadership Principles which involve citing real work experience in the STAR format.
