Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto un giorno. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon (Vancouver, BC) nel mese di mag 2014
Colloquio
Applied through Amazon website.
A week later HR contacted to set up a 1 hour phone interview.
nterviewer asked to tell about my favorite course project and about my Co-Op Exp. Later asked to write a code in any interested language about how to find two numbers in an array whose sum is equal to a given number. Asked how I can improve it and what its Big O, is it going to compile

Later asked about Virtual methods, polymorphism, its importance and use. Messed up the Polymorphism question. I think that is the reason for my rejection.
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.
