J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en avr. 2015
Entretien
I was contacted by HR recruiter from Amazon. After first screening phone call with HR I had 45 minutes phone interview. The interview included shared dashboard where I had to write code. I hadn't prepared to the phone interview and it was my big mistake. Two main findings for myself from this experience: practice coding using paper/whiteboard/notepad and refresh you memory about algorithms and data structures before interview.

Question 1
Return k most frequent words in the text. Subsequent questions: what if we have very large text file? Can we distribute this process for multiple machines? What if we have limited memory?
Recruiter screen, followed by an online coding assessment and then a technical phone interview. The final round was a virtual onsite loop with multiple interviews covering data structures, system design, debugging, and Amazon Leadership Principles. The technical questions were practical but time-constrained, and the behavioural questions required specific examples using the STAR format.

Question 1
Design a scalable URL shortening service and explain how you would handle high read traffic, collisions, database schema, expiration, and basic monitoring.
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.

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.
