I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
I had 2 phone interviews with Amazon. I was invited to in-person interview after the first one that lasted about 2 hours. Couldn't go to Seattle at that time, so I declined. Recently, I had interviewed over the phone/online coding again. Haven't heard back yet, perhaps it's not been long enough. I feel their phone and online interview is a fair game for entry level position, consisting mostly of testing of general knowledge of data structures and algorithms. Trees, hash tables, list, algorithms used on them. I felt the interviews were testing knowledge of this subject matter mostly and questions were how to optimize/improve the algorithm also. Nothing too tricky or unusual. They didn't care which language one would use either.
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.
