I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Amazon (São Paulo, São Paulo)
Interview
Muito interessante e motivador. A parte online é um filtro muito bom e depende um pouco de sorte, porém eu não passei na primeira nem na segunda vez e eles continuaram me chamando. Foi necessário resolver vários problemas no hackerrank e no leetcode para conseguir passar. O ruim é que a dificuldade do teste online é muito aleatória. O teste que eu passei foi um dos mais difíceis que eu fiz e só passei porque estava muito bem preparado. O teste onsite foi mais fácil do que o online.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Na entrevista técnica eles dão muito valor para a parte comportamental. Principalmente adesão aos valores (que eles chamam de princípios de liderança). Ocupa cerca de 30% do tempo da entrevista e é bom estar preparado porque no meu processo ficou claro que boas respostas contaram muito. Uma pergunta que me fizeram foi para eu falar de uma situação onde não concordava com a decisão técnica do meu gerente.
total 5 rounds - First OA assessment, quick telephone interview with recruiter, followed by 4 back to back technical and behavioral rounds. In technical round question were around topological graph sorting, cycle detection in linked list, and LRU cache. In behavioral round, the question were based on their 16 principles.

Question 1
How do you manage the disagreement at your workplace.
During the coding round, I was thrown a problem on edit distance that felt eerily familiar. Mid-way through, I realized it was the same question I had practiced on PracHub just a few days earlier. The interview included a system design question about the Amazon Locker service, which required me to think through various components and customer flows. The final round involved behavioral questions that focused on leadership principles. Overall, the process was challenging but fair, and I was thrilled to receive an offer that I happily accepted.

Question 1
Compute the edit distance between two strings and walk through the DP table and optimizations.
The journey began with an online assessment containing two coding problems (one algorithmic, one mathematical) and a brief work-style survey. Following a successful screen, I completed a 45-minute phone interview focused entirely on behavioral questions, requiring me to recount past experiences using the STAR method
