I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2022
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn. Sent resume and after reviewal, was sent an online assesment. Assessment consisted of 2 coding questions (leetcode easy and leetcode hard) and then a series of values driven behavioral questions. After that, I scheduled a virtual interview with an Engineer from their team. A week after interviewing I received an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Online Assessment: (1) Leetcode easy using hashmap/arrays. (2) Leetcode medium using dijkstra's algo. Relied on genuine answers keeping the amazon principles in mind for behavioural q's.
Final: Basic behaviorals regarding a time I worked under a deadline and a time I had to make an important decision. (1) Coding question where I used a minimum heap (priority queue with self balancing tree and underlying structure) and answered q's about my work. Code was not required to actually run.
Two rounds, one technical and structured Second was a lot more just talking. It was fine overall, asked questions you would expect from an interview. Didn't end up passing, it is what it is
Was part of the women programme spring insight. Started off with an initial cv screen, then moved onto a hackerrank oa, and then we moved onto an in person workshop with an interview at the end
