Interview
I had applied online and received an email scheduling my first phone interview within a week. The interviewer was very helpful and kind. As said in the email, the interview was based on data structures and algorithm complexity.
He asked me to write a program based on arrays and binary tree.
1) Write a program to find the largest sum of two consecutive integers in an array?
2)How to find the height of binary tree?
3)Why amazon?
I cleared the first one and my second phone screen is in next week.
My advice is to revise data structures, algorithm complexity and be honest if you dont know any answer. You can give some information closest to the given question.
Be confident :)

Interview
I got a call from the Amazon guy. He asked me to join an online meeting and write a program to find factors of a number.
I asked him if there could be -ve numbers, he said no, but that is a good question. I wrote the program which worked fine and then he asked me to develop test cases.
After that he asked me basic questions about Data Structures mostly Hash Tables and collision resolution.
I was not selected even though the interview went well :(

Interview
Two slots interview, on campus. First one is about recursion and the further data structure question. Second is to generalize a function dealing with constant, set and array. I didn't think on the oo way so I did it poorly
