Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Amazon (Seattle, WA) nel mese di nov 2014
Colloquio
5 rounds, including 4 technical interviews and 1 project review at lunch. Each round takes about 45 mins. The technical questions asked were not easy for me. The one at lunch time was a manager asking me about some personality questions and my past projects. There was 1 interviewer called bar raiser that came from another team. Usually bar raiser is the most experienced one, and he has the deterministic vote to the decision.

All technical rounds are dealing with design patterns. You have to define your classes and write down some algorithms to fulfill the functionality. I was also asked a DP problem.
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.

Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.

The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together

Colloquio
Recruiter reached out and set up an onsite loop after the initial steps. Four back to back rounds in one day. Two coding heavy rounds run by senior engineers, one round with the hiring manager, and one behavioral round with a bar raiser. Mix of leadership principles and data structures throughout. Heard back within a week.

Domanda 1
Standard BFS grid problem. Given a grid, find the time for all cells to reach a target state where the spread happens one layer at a time.
How did you answer: Clarified the constraints, walked through the approach, then coded a clean BFS from all starting points at once. Tracked the number of layers until everything was covered.
