J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Herndon, VA) en juil. 2016
Entretien
The interview process was smooth and well planned. Half my interviewers asked logical questions and were receptive to my approach/algorithm. The other half, asked unclear questions and my repeated attempts to understand the questions were met with stiff resistance. I felt like the interviewer had made up his/her mind not to hire me and was being unfriendly.
One interviewer mentioned that he worked for customer service. Assuming he was not a programmer, I answered software questions in a generic way so that a non-software engineer could understand them. At the end of the interview, I got a chance to clarify his role and he mentioned that he was a software engineer working for 'customer service' application.
Overall, I was not too impressed with the quality of the questions and the headstrong attitude of some of the interviewers.
Questions d'entretien [2]
Question 1
Write code to Implement a circuit board with logical gates.
Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
The phone screen went longer than expected, focusing heavily on implementation details. The interviewer really grilled me on my approach to a Least Recently Used (LRU) cache, asking how I'd combine a hashmap with a doubly linked list. I felt well-prepared since I had gone through system design examples on PracHub, which made me comfortable discussing eviction policies. The later rounds included more technical questions and behavioral interviews, but in the end, I received an offer, though I ultimately decided to decline. Overall, I’d say the process was average, with solid questions.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Design and implement a Least Recently Used (LRU) cache supporting get(key) and put(key, value) in O(1) average time. Walk through combining a hashmap with a doubly linked list, eviction policy when capacity is exceeded, and how you'd extend it to handle thread-safe concurrent access.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
