Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. La procedura ha richiesto 4 giorni. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon (Gainesville, FL) nel mese di ott 2013
Colloquio
On-campus Interview.
Went through the first round. Answered one coding problem and design problem. Got notification for next three rounds at 5pm.
Then three days later, went through three more rounds. In each round, solved two problems. The last round talked about project and team experience.
Rejected at 6pm.

What would you wish to improve if you were to start the project again?
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.
