Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto più di 2 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon (Seattle, WA) nel mese di ott 2012
Colloquio
Applied online for open position. Received phone call approximately two weeks later to setup a phone interview. Phone interview with hiring machine occurred about a week later. The phone interview included "writing" small function and system design questions. A week after that I was contacted for a on-site interview, which was scheduled 3 weeks out. Onsite interview consisted 6 45-minute interviews, which included writing small programs and design questions. The interviewers appeared to take detail notes of all my answers. Received an offer two weeks after the interview.

Domanda 1
Write a function to transform one word to another word, changing one letter at a time, using only valid words (e.g., cat -> dog: cat, hat, hag, hog, dog).
Surprisingly easy — I expected tougher questions, but the coding round felt more like a warm-up. The main challenge was a DSA problem about counting islands in a 2D grid, which led to a discussion on DFS versus BFS and handling large grids. Funny enough, I had revisited that exact type of question while prepping on PracHub, which made me feel more confident. The interview wrapped up with a behavioral round, and I accepted an offer, but ultimately decided to decline it for another opportunity. Overall, it was a smooth experience.

Domanda 1
Number of Islands — given a 2D grid of '1's (land) and '0's (water), count the number of connected islands. Walk through DFS vs BFS, and discuss how to avoid revisiting cells (in-place mutation vs visited set) and what changes if the grid is huge and must stream from disk.
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.
