Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 6 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon (Seattle, WA) nel mese di mag 2013
Colloquio
After two phone interviews that involved coding exercises on a collaborative coding tool, I was invited for a day long onsite interview. There were six sessions of back to back interviews, with a short break for lunch. The interviews themselves focused on my interest in the organization, my technical interests, depth and breadth, my design and coding skills, and my professional culture and ethics. The interview environment was very relaxed, even at points when I struggled with coding issues the interviewer was encouraging and obviously interested minimizing the inevitable pressures of interview.

Domanda 1
Describe how you resolved a professional disagreement with your manager/supervisor?
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.
