I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Tempe, AZ) in Apr 2012
Interview
Two back to back interviews that were 45 minutes long. A sheet is provided for your answers. There are generally two big questions with each interviewer. I forgot one of them. The interviewers provide help and hints whenever one gets stuck or is lost.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Heap Sorting. What data structure do you use to implement it? Time to access and sort. Code it.
Provided two files, one with inventory and the other with warehouses, with the item ID present in both files; code something that would merge these two into one single file using the item ID as reference.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
One online assessment and one virtual interview included a coding round and leadership principle questions; overall, the process was fairly straightforward and not overly challenging for me throughout the experience.
2 rounds:
1st round: 3 behaviorals: Tell me about yourself, tell me about a time you used Gen AI, tell me about a time you faced a problem in one of your experiences
Leetcode similar to LRU Cache but a variant
2nd round: 3 more behaviorals; tell me about yourself, a specific experience in my internship, a time you disagreed with manager/peer on a project
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Pretty difficult OA didn't need to get full score. One round technical interview with SDE. Interview was pretty easy, most people I knew at school and friends ended up passing the interview. Took about 1 month to hear back after interview
