Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon
Colloquio
I applied online and got a response one week later from Amazon's in-house recruitment team to set a date for a telephonic interview, and another week before the interview took place.
It was the first round telephonic interview. The interviewer introduced themself and their role in the company, then explained the structure of the interview.
The questions were relatively simple, conflict question, performance problem question, design patterns and finally algorithms.
Though I have no excuse for my dismal performance in the interview, I would not recommend having an interview after hours, my brain was fried and I couldn't answer the simplest of questions!
Very positive experience, but make sure you are fresh and alert.

Explain a time when you made a recommendation for particular problem to your supervisor and they didn't go with it? How did you handle this?
Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.

Colloquio
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
The phone screen went longer than expected, focusing heavily on implementation details. The interviewer really grilled me on my approach to a Least Recently Used (LRU) cache, asking how I'd combine a hashmap with a doubly linked list. I felt well-prepared since I had gone through system design examples on PracHub, which made me comfortable discussing eviction policies. The later rounds included more technical questions and behavioral interviews, but in the end, I received an offer, though I ultimately decided to decline. Overall, I’d say the process was average, with solid questions.

Design and implement a Least Recently Used (LRU) cache supporting get(key) and put(key, value) in O(1) average time. Walk through combining a hashmap with a doubly linked list, eviction policy when capacity is exceeded, and how you'd extend it to handle thread-safe concurrent access.
