I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Passau) in Nov 2017
Interview
I was referred from an employee for an interview. A recuter contacted me by mail and asked when I would be free for an interview in the next three weeks. Then they scheduled with the team.
The interview was one hour long and consisted of three parts. First some questions about a project I was proud of. They asked about my part in the project and how I solved problems with team mates. Also some followup questions.
In the second part I got a link for an online texteditor with syntax higlighting. I was asked to solve a easy programming question. At first I had to explain the algorithm I wanted to use and then programm it. Afterwards I had to compute the complexity and optimise my solution. Also some followup questions.
In the end I could ask some questions about the internship.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Detect if two strings are anagrams from one another. (Not palindoms! Anagrams are just mixed letters)
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
One online assessment and one virtual interview included a coding round and leadership principle questions; overall, the process was fairly straightforward and not overly challenging for me throughout the experience.
2 rounds:
1st round: 3 behaviorals: Tell me about yourself, tell me about a time you used Gen AI, tell me about a time you faced a problem in one of your experiences
Leetcode similar to LRU Cache but a variant
2nd round: 3 more behaviorals; tell me about yourself, a specific experience in my internship, a time you disagreed with manager/peer on a project
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Pretty difficult OA didn't need to get full score. One round technical interview with SDE. Interview was pretty easy, most people I knew at school and friends ended up passing the interview. Took about 1 month to hear back after interview
