I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Boston, MA) in Mar 2013
Interview
Applied online and got an email from the recruiter in 4 5 days.
Scheduled two 45 min phone interviews.
was asked 2 programs for the first 45 min phone interview
1) deletion in circular linked list
2)Do division without using * ,/ ,% operators.
For the second phone interview I was asked few questions on OOPS then was asked to write a code for the following question:
1) an array consists of few integers.Only 1 integer can be present for odd number of times.If any integer is present it has to be even number of times.Return error of this condition is violated.
Hackerrank round first and then two LC questions as the final round (BFS/DFS medium). Also had a behaviour component, testing the leadership principles and how my experiences aligned with them.
Expect one behavioral LP question followed by a leetcode medium or hard for two rounds. Be prepared to answer in depth on the behavioral questions and review LeetCode’s list of questions from Amazon.
