The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2010
Interview
Was scheduled for a phone interview round last week , a week after I applied. The interview started with resume scanning and the interviewer asked questions on my projects, which I answered confidently. Later, I was asked about Linked List, Binary trees. He asked me what big oh notation meant, and the time complexities of linked list and binary trees. I was asked what was the worst case scenario of a Binary Search tree. He then asked me what balanced and unbalanced binary trees were, and asked me to write a code on self balancing binary trees. I have not received a reply about the outcome for the phone interview since last week
My perception is that the company looks for applicants who demonstrate a 'can do it attitude' when given a tough problem.

Question 1
Write a program that balances an unbalanced binary tree.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Question 1
Pergunta historicas baseada nos principios de lideranca da amazon.
The whole process stretched over nearly a month, longer than I anticipated. After an initial phone screen, I faced a technical round that included a Min Stack implementation question. We discussed design considerations and thread safety, which threw me for a bit. Fortunately, I remembered a specific mock interview I practiced on PracHub that mirrored this scenario closely, making me feel more at ease. Ultimately, I received an offer, but I chose to decline due to the company culture not feeling like the right fit.
