J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Herndon, VA) en oct. 2014
Entretien
The screening was much easier than I expected. The interviewer didn't ask too many difficult questions-just a bunch of general questions on data structures and big O.
He asked me to write some code to reverse the characters in a string and then some code to reverse words in a string. After that, it was just verbal conversation on how I'd go about solving various problems and some resume questions.
I got radio silence after that. Other jobs are still under consideration but I'm doubtful based on the lack of response.
Talked about what they do at their office and the various software they develop to monitor their servers and routers. He mentioned it is interesting if you like to learn about networking or you already know a lot about it. He didn't sound too excited.
