Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon nel mese di gen 2013
Colloquio
Best way to get your foot in the door is to send your resume to a recruiter. Was a little frustrated that for the first phone interview, they ended up not calling and had to reschedule a month later. The interview itself was straight-forward, no-frills, coding questions. Used a website that allows the interviewer to see code that you type up. Still in the process of interviewing.

As one author put it, Amazon loves Object-Oriented Questions. It seems like the interviewers are more concerned with the process and quality of code over the number of questions you're able to answer, although I'm sure a good balance of both is useful.
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.

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.

Colloquio
Um teste de código online, se aprovado, vai para o loop. O loop é 4 entrevistas seguidas, duas em inglês e duas em português. 3 entrevistas técnicas de código, todas as 4 têm pergunta de liderança.
