Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 1 día. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (San Jose, CA) en ene 2016
Entrevista
They sent me a coding challenge. The first half was easy. It was about finding bugs in small programs. The second half required you to do multiple questions about logics and puzzles. I screwed that up. 40 questions in 40 minutes. The last one was a coding question. Easy in nature. But I had to find an optimized algorithm for it and it took quite a long time. They gave me 30 mins.
The recruiter was kind, he extended the coding challenge for me twice, though 2 times I had problem logging in the system to do the coding challenge. So I had to contacted the system's support team and they resolved it very quickly within a day.

Pregunta 1
Count distinct pair of integers that sum up to a target number.
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.

Pregunta 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.

Given an array of integers return the indices of two numbers summing to a target
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.
