I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2012
Interview
Asked a few basic OOPS Concepts like Polymorphism, Inheritance and then a coding question that required to pick out repeated elements from the given integer array. Like [1,1,2,3,2] then the output of the program will be 1, 2. And then had a general talk about the company and work there.
Asked also regarding hash tables and I was not able to work out that part.
Given an array which is not sorted, pick out the elements that are repeated. For example, [1.1,2,3,3] the output should be 1 & 3. Then asked to solve the same for [1,1,2,3,2]
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney)
Interview
I can't comment much. I submitted an application for the software engineer position, and not even a minute later, I received an auto rejection email from Amazon (never received an online assessment).
2 behavioral 2 coding not very difficult. Behavioral is tell me about a time you took responsibility beyond your role and biggest accomplishment. The process is exactly the guideline they posted for interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
tell me about a time you took responsibility beyond your role
It was a 2-3 round process, depending on how your interview went, with increasingly hard DSA questions followed by some HR and behavioural questions. First round was mostly easy and medium leetcode, followed by medium and hard questions in the second round and above on more complex topics.
