I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Robotics (Boston, MA) in Feb 2019
Interview
I had two technical phone interviews. The questions were mix of optimization, queuing theory and simple programming questions. After the first interview (for which the feedback was very positive) I had a second interview. I got a rejection notice one week later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How to reorder an array of names such that male names come before female names? (Assuming having a method for determining gender based on names)
The interviews went well but then was told the company is on a freezing hire. So the process was put on hold until a future date. Research history and future directions were discussed.
The interview included one phone interview with the recruiter, three phone interviews with research scientists and the hiring manager. Overall, the interview went smooth, the interviewers were nice and polite, and the coding exercised were easy enough
