I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Detroit, MI) in Apr 2015
Interview
One phone interview and one onsite interview consisting of talking with five people. The phone interview was simple, just like chatting with a friend. The onsite was more serious, however the people were nice and the problems were reasonable. The decision was fast. I performed not well, so I failed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an array of integers, rotate it one position.
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.
