Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions covered BST, Arrays, Stacks et al. The interviewer also interested in breaking my code and how would I test my code.
Wasn't too sure what the interviewer wanted out of the design question.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2013
Interview
The recruiter found my resume and hooked me up for an interview. Went through two rounds of phone interview. Some if technical details and back ground questions. Not very hard for me. The onsite interview is a bit tough and long. Half coding and algorithm questions. Difficult but not extreme. Lots of behavioral questions to probe if I can fit into the company's core value and culture.
