I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Contacted by an Amazon recruiter asking to fill up a questionnaire.
First interview started with the interviewer asking little bit about my back ground. We quickly transitioned into the coding exercise. The problem involved palindromes. I was trying to be verbally descriptive while coding the exercise. I felt a little rushed to code.
Second interview got straight to the coding exercise. The problem was around pair identification After the solution there were a few questions around optimization and possible choice of data structures. Better experience with the interviewer this time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you optimize the implementation that you provided from O(n2)?
Interview by recuriter, Phone interview over Chime with one easy Leet code problem and 2 behavioral questions. Although the interviewer was very casual at the start of the conversation, it quickly changed into behavioral questions at the start.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Encoding optimization algorithm and talk about a project you did recently.
First round is just leet code coding which screens through AI before going into live coding. Pretty simple and straighforward. Not too tough. Recruiter walks through it pretty nicely. Not sure how many rounds there are exactly
After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
