Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. El proceso tomó 1 semana. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Seattle, WA) en jul 2015
Entrevista
My onsite interview went well. It had 5 rounds in total: 4 technical and 1 managerial. In two rounds, they tested design skills and knowledge on algorithms, data structures, time complexities and too many behavioural questions in the rest of the interview. People @ Amazon(especially recruiting co-ordinators) are very nice, down to earth and very helpful. I was happy about myself. Overall, it was a very good learning experience.

Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.

Heard back within a week.

Standard BFS grid problem. Given a grid, find the time for all cells to reach a target state where the spread happens one layer at a time.
How did you answer: Clarified the constraints, walked through the approach, then coded a clean BFS from all starting points at once. Tracked the number of layers until everything was covered.
