I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Cape Town) in Jan 2010
Interview
I had 2 phone interviews which involved a number of questions about my education and work experience.
The onsite interview consisted of about 6 interview of 45 minutes, one of which takes place during lunch. These are all white board coding and problem solving questions. The length and number of interviews makes it a bit challenging.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a mutable string (array of characters) of words, how would you reverse the order of the words in the string, not the entire string. This must be done in place, i.e. not using any additional memory.
eg) "Hello World" => "olleH dlroW"
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru)
Interview
The interview process consisted of an online assessment followed by two technical interview rounds and one behavioral round. The technical rounds focused on Data Structures, Algorithms, Java, and problem-solving skills. The behavioral round covered Amazon Leadership Principles and past project experiences. The interviewers were professional and the process was well structured.
