I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Cape Town) in Oct 2011
Interview
Prior:
The Cape Town offices of Amazon deal mainly with their Electronic Compute Cloud (EC2) product.
I emailed my CV and was granted a telephonic interview.
Telephonic Interview:
The interview was conducted by the software development manager.
I was asked about projects that I worked on and my roles within them.
I was also asked why I want to work for Amazon.
Questions regarding cloud computing then followed.
Lastly I was asked to explain JavaScript.
Post Interview:
I was informed 2 days later that they did not wish to take my application further.
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.
Um teste de código online, se aprovado, vai para o loop. O loop é 4 entrevistas seguidas, duas em inglês e duas em português. 3 entrevistas técnicas de código, todas as 4 têm pergunta de liderança.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pergunta historicas baseada nos principios de lideranca da amazon.
The whole process stretched over nearly a month, longer than I anticipated. After an initial phone screen, I faced a technical round that included a Min Stack implementation question. We discussed design considerations and thread safety, which threw me for a bit. Fortunately, I remembered a specific mock interview I practiced on PracHub that mirrored this scenario closely, making me feel more at ease. Ultimately, I received an offer, but I chose to decline due to the company culture not feeling like the right fit.
