Colloquio
After initial contact, I went through two technical phone screens over a period of two weeks. This was followed two weeks later by an all day in person interview at locations in Seattle. Confirmation of an offer followed a couple of days after that, and then the actual offer after another couple of days.

Domanda 1
I was asked to write an algorithm to find the minimum number of 1 letter changes to get from a given start word to a given end word using a dictionary of valid words, i.e. Cat->Cot->Cog->Dog
Effeciently find the first 1 in an infinite sequence of 1's and 0's for which you have a random access function, given the contraint that the first 1 will only be followed by additional ones.

Colloquio
The interview process for a Software Development Engineer II (SDE II) role at Amazon typically consists of three main stages:
HR Screening
The process begins with an initial conversation with a recruiter. This discussion focuses on your background, experience, and overall fit for the role. You may also go over basic behavioral questions aligned with Amazon’s Leadership Principles, along with details about the team and position.
Online Assessment (OA)
Candidates who pass the initial screening are invited to complete an online assessment. This stage generally includes:
Data structures and algorithms coding problems
Logical reasoning or work simulation tasks (in some cases)
Basic system design or debugging questions (role-dependent)
The goal is to evaluate problem-solving skills, coding ability, and efficiency.
Technical Interview (Live Coding)
The final stage involves one or more live technical interviews. These are typically conducted via an online coding platform and may include:
Solving algorithmic problems in real time
Explaining your thought process clearly
Writing clean, efficient, and correct code
Answering follow-up questions and optimizing your solution
I completed an initial recruiter screening and then moved forward to the online assessment (OA). I didn’t prepare ahead of time, and the assessment consisted of two LeetCode medium-level problems. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to solve them successfully and did not pass the OA stage.
