J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (New York, NY) en oct. 2013
Entretien
I was originally contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn. After responding I was able to set up an appointment. Amazon was conducting a series of interviews in NYC which lasted about half a day. There were 5 interviewers (including HR) and the interview process and questions were almost identical to those defined in Cracking the Coding Interview. This was my first interview in 7 years and I have to say they did a great job of making me feel comfortable during the process. My previous experiences weren't all that great.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Most of the questions weren't all that difficult and there was very little pressure in solving them. The point was really to see the process of arriving at your answer. The most difficult question was to explain the cardinality of depth first and breadth first search and explain how the algorithms could be written. I actually missed that one as I haven't looked at a text book in years. The question I remembered most was the one about having 2 eggs and dropping them off a 100 story building to determine at what floor they begin to break. What is the least amount of attempts required to determine this answer?
