Candidatei-me por meio de uma faculdade ou universidade. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Amazon.
Entrevista
Applied on career fair. Recruiters at the career fair asked 2 technical questions. First is how to sort 5 sorted integer array into one big array. The second one is how to give change with minimal number of coins.
Get the on-site interview in Seattle after Career fair, no phone interview. There're 4 interviews that day.
First one, 2 questions. The first question is pretty complicated, but the skills the interviewer was seeking are searching and constructing binary tree. The second question is how to implement a stack using 2 queues.
Second one, don't remember...
Third one, given 2 character arrays, check if all the characters in one array can be found in the other array.
Last one, 2 questions. 1. given 2 sorted integer arrays, find the median number of two arrays together. 2. how to print a binary tree level by level in reverse order.(level 1, from left to right' level2, from right to left...).

Unexpected Question: If you can have one super power, what do you want?
Loop — 4 rounds, all on the same day
Round 1 — Coding (DSA)
Interviewer was a senior SDE, very friendly.
Warm-up + behavioral: "Tell me about a time you took ownership of something outside your responsibilities."
Main question: Given a list of meeting intervals, find the minimum number of conference rooms required. I used a heap. He then asked a follow-up: what if meetings could be reassigned to minimize total idle time? We discussed approaches but didn't fully code it.
He cared a lot about how I talked through edge cases out loud.
Round 2 — Coding + Problem Solving
LP question: "Describe a situation where you disagreed with a teammate."
Coding: LRU Cache implementation from scratch. I used a hashmap + doubly linked list. He pushed on thread-safety and what happens at capacity 0.
Round 3 — Behavioral (Bar Raiser)
This was the toughest round — no coding, all Leadership Principles, very deep STAR-format probing.
Questions I got:
"Tell me about a time you failed and what you learned."
"A time you had to deliver something with a tight deadline and limited information."
The bar raiser kept drilling: "What was your specific contribution?" "What would you do differently?" "What data did you use?" Have 6–8 strong stories ready with metrics.
Round 4 — Low-Level Design
Design: Design a parking lot system (classes, vehicle types, spot allocation, pricing). Then he asked me to code the findSpot() and releaseSpot() methods.

Most coding questions were LeetCode Medium. Common themes: graphs, heaps, sliding window, hashmaps, and LRU/design., system design,
Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.

Entrevista
Online techincal assessment. Had to screen share and complete basic coding tasks similar to Leet Code. Could choose a language of your choice. Overall a very fair system and judged based on merit.

Technical assessment so a basic leet code style question about reversing the orders of long numerical strings.
