I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Aug 2010
Interview
I'm contacted by the recruiter directly after I put my resume on job searching websites such as monster and linkedin. The interview consists of two phone screens and 1 onsite. Phone screens mainly focus on large scale data processing questions and basic java and data structure. Onsite questions are comprehensive: your research, their project, white board coding, and algorithm. Some of the algorithm questions are challenging.

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.
