I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2011
Interview
My friend helped me submitted my resume, and then I got a call from a recruiter in three days. The recruiter helped me schedule my first round phone interview. My interviewer was a software engineer. In the beginning of the interview, he asked some general questions about my current projects and then moved to technical questions. He asked me to implement a function to print out all the permutations of an input string. I completed it and time was up. In one more week, I got an second round phone interview which is scheduled in next week.

Question 1
Implement a function to print out all the permutations of an input string
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.
