I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2012
Interview
There were two rounds telephone interviews and I was selected to interview with the engineers in customer service department.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It was an extended question regarding to binary tree. The tree consists of the numbers and the mathematics operations, like +, -, *, /. The root is the operator and its two children is the numbers. The question is how to calculate the result of the whole tree. I suggested to DFS the tree to reach the bottom. But my interviewer wanted me to use another way to solve the problem. I finally use recursion to solve the problem but it consumed too much time and I even didn't have time to do the second question.
Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sídney)
Interview
I can't comment much. I submitted an application for the software engineer position, and not even a minute later, I received an auto rejection email from Amazon (never received an online assessment).
2 behavioral 2 coding not very difficult. Behavioral is tell me about a time you took responsibility beyond your role and biggest accomplishment. The process is exactly the guideline they posted for interview.
