I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Cincinnati, OH) in Mar 2014
Interview
The process consisted of two phone interviews. Both the interviewers were pretty straightforward in their approach. They asked me for a good time to schedule the interview. First they talked to me about what the company and their role in it. Then they asked me to choose a coding language of my choice. I choose C++. Both phone calls required coding on a code sharing site. They gave me a problem and asked me to try to solve it by writing some code.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One of the questions was related to movie suggestions.
Given a movie A that the user had watched, write an algorithm to suggest more movies to the user. You can decide how the movie A would be related to other movies(linked lists, arrays, vectors,etc).
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
