I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2013
Interview
I applied on the university career website. Got a call saying they are interested in interviewing me. Setup two interviews for a scheduled day. First person dint call as I think he couldnt connect, or got busy. Second interview went smooth. He asked me to write a simple program, swapping two variables values. Then asked about linked list, hash-maps, pros and cons of each, time complexities. After a week second interview was setup, he asked questions on similar lines. Like, writing a code to reverse a string, discussed time-complexities, different sorting algorithms, and different data structures.
Got a call after a long while with an internship offer.
Had one virtual interview with an engineer. Prior to that, there was a online assessment with a leadership assessment (behavioral). Process was smooth. Heard back within reasonable time (1-2 weeks).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
valid brackets on leetcode and we dove a bit deeper
First there was an online assesment and two rounds of tech interview where each round had 2 dsa problems which were lc medium and some behavioral questions and project related question.
The interview process was straightforward and friendly. It started with a recruiter screening, followed by a technical interview. The interviewer asked basic coding questions, object-oriented programming concepts, and a few behavioral questions based on Amazon Leadership Principles. The coding problems were not very difficult, and the interviewer was willing to provide hints when needed. Overall, the experience was positive and well organized.
