I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2010
Interview
Had 2 phone interviews. I passed the first one so they scheduled the second phone interview, which I did not do well. Perhaps because I this is the first time I do online coding while the interviewer is watching. I jumped on coding too quick before coming up with a clear solution.

Question 1
Given k number of sorted arrays, describe an algorithm to merge them into one array with each element remain sorted. Analyze the complexity.
Given a series or integers, write a program to print them out in random order in equal probabilities. In other words, each time your program runs the output should be different, but each output has equal probabilities.
Straightforward interview process with clear communication. The interviewers asked about my background, relevant experience, technical skills, and how I would handle common workplace situations. Overall, it felt professional and organized.

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.
