Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 2 meses. Fui entrevistado pela Amazon (Santiago) em fev. de 2016
Entrevista
1) You get contacted by phone by the recruiter. We discussed the usual: my past experience, why do I wanna work for them, and stuff like that.
2) If the recruiter thinks you are suitable for the job, he sends a link to solve a timed exercise. I don't remember the problem buy it was mid difficulty. Something to do with magic numbers and arrays.
3) I suspected they do not look at the solution, if the code passes the unit tests when you submit it, you are still on track, otherwise it ends here.
4) They offered to interview me in person in Santiago, Chile. If you do not live in the city, they pay for the plane ticket to get there. The technical interview consisted in 4 stages, each step with two developers and 45 minutes each, 2 were about solving algorithms in the whiteboard and 2 were a systems design question. I'll post the questions I remember.
I thought I did pretty well in 3/4 and the last one I struggled too much to solve it. I did not get an offer, it seems their decision has to be unanimous for a candidate to get an offer. I have to say that the devs were very nice and if you get stuck they help you get back on track (I suppose this is not good for you though in terms of points)
I put negative experience because I felt that if this was not for Amazon, I would had got an offer for sure. And let's face it, they are not NASA or something like that to only be targeting geniuses. Maybe I just did not fit their expected dev profile.
Perguntas de entrevista [2]
Pergunta 1
Implement the paint's bucket algorithm, imagine you have a grid with open or closed geometrical figures. Give (x,y) coordinates, paint the grid accordingly. He recommended recursive solution because iterative would take more than 30 minutes.
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.
Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Amazon (Toronto, ON).

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.
