The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2010
Interview
This wasn't an interview, rather a visit arranged by my school. All the people I met there were software engineers, very intelligent and nice people. They had almost zero attitude. They know what they are doing, and like what they are doing. Otherwise it is almost impossible to tackle the daily problems they solve. It is challenging, but thinking the scope of the impact they have around the world, makes very much sense. I would love to work there after I graduate, because I like the challenge.
Applied online via the company careers page. Received a reply from HR within a few weeks inviting me to an initial
screening call over Teams. Process also included an online coding assessment sent as a pre-interview step.
Communication from HR was professional, prompt, and friendly throughout the scheduling stage.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard background and motivation questions — what attracted me to the company, and a walk-through of recent
OA contained 2 coding questions and then followed by a multiple choice question on behavioral where they emphasized a lot on their leadership rules which you can find on their website
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is customer obsession and how do you apply it
Could not use AI during the first interview. The recruiter was helpful in the screener but the coding exam was tough including the take home test. Did a few Leetcode examples but apparently that wasn't enough.
