Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto un giorno. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon nel mese di mar 2012
Colloquio
The process wasn't very efficient. The hiring manager would have preferred to have 1:1 interview, but did not get the full information from the recruiter and was automatically assigned a phone interview.
No feedback is provided after the interview, as a policy in the digital product group. The hiring manager left a very positive impression. The "research scientist" title may be wrong for the position, it's more "algorithm engineer".

I had a zoom call with the hiring manager. I was asked technical questions during the interview, such as "How do you compute the conditional median of a set of data points?"

Five interviews, all had behavioral components, three coding questions, one system design question. The behavioral questions were of the form "Tell me about a time when..." and were meant to reflect Amazon's Leadership Principles.

Pretty fast and well-organized interview process. Scheduling was easy, communication of different interview expectations was clear, and feedback came quickly after each stage, which made the overall experience quite smooth.
