I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Oshawa, ON) in Feb 2015
Interview
Very similar to other interviews. An on-line coding challenge of 7 questions (some code is given, it has semantic errors you need to fix), followed by a 1-hour long interview with a recruiter, who will ask personal questions about your background, as well as technical programming exercises. The only problem is that the recruiter had some technical issues with the phone, so we had to use a different number. Also, his accent made me struggle a bit more than usual
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an array of integers and k, print all the pairs of numbers (a,b), both of them inside the array, such that a+b=k
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Hyderabad) in Apr 2015
Interview
HR arranged an interactive interview with collabedit tool and a bridge call.
the interview got started with out much discussion about the mutual backgrounds. Because, people at the both the end know what we exactly need from each other.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Precisely, the first question was to Print the list of numbers in an array fall beyond the average of the total numbers of the same array. And generate the test cases assuming it is a black box.
(Intention here is to generate the exhaustive test cases)
And another question is Design and code An API takes following parameters as input and inserts them into a relational database table. Of these parameters, few of them are mandatory fields.
How would you implement your API?
TestcaseId, TestCaseName, TestCase Description, TestCaseExecutionId, TestCaseExecutionStatus, TestSteps, TestLabels, IsActive, IsAutomated, TestPriority
TestcaseId, TestCaseExecutionId and TestCaseExecutionStatus are mandatory fields. How do you handle this?
NOTE: Remember the time is very limited constraint and Interviewer always expects a refined code including exception handling scenarios. No excuses.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Greenwood, IN)
Interview
I made online application. First step was to online assessment test.There was two coding questions and 35 minutes aptitude test. It was not that bad. If you prepare well you can easily crack it.
