I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2017
Interview
I was asked a question shamelessly copied from Cracking The Coding Interview (as if that was any indicator of engineering talent) and then given a lightning round of pop-quiz questions about data structures that I never ended up using once I worked there. The interviewer was clearly reading from a script.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
* Largest subarray sum
* Lookup time complexity of various data structures
* Insert time complexity of various data structures
Two rounds, one technical and structured Second was a lot more just talking. It was fine overall, asked questions you would expect from an interview. Didn't end up passing, it is what it is
Was part of the women programme spring insight. Started off with an initial cv screen, then moved onto a hackerrank oa, and then we moved onto an in person workshop with an interview at the end

Question 1
They asked to discuss how I dealt with learning new things
Round 1: OA (Leetcode + behavioral)
Round 2: 1hr Zoom (Leetcode + behavioral)
The interviewer looked very disinterested and bored, like he did not want to be there at all.
