I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2012
Interview
I have taken two phone interviews. The first one goes well. The interviewee just asked some background, and then asked the coding questions.
1.. given a number, find two numbers from an array so that the sum is equal to that number;
2.. given a number, find three numbers from an array so that their sum is equal to that number;
During the second interview, the interviewee directly asked the coding problems.
1. Given a file which contains 4 G integers, find an integer that doesn't exist in the file with a 4M memory computer
2. Given a sentence, and an output, write a function that takes the sentence and output the given results.
I didn't do the first question well, and for the second one, I make some small mistakes. So I finally failed.
