O processo levou 1 semana. Fui entrevistado pela Amazon em mai. de 2009
Entrevista
A recruiter from Amazon got my resume from Dice and called me. I did not have the exact skill sets for the job description for which I was to be interviewed but the recruiter informed that at Amazon they are looking for people with sound software engineering background and the exact skill set or experience in a particular programming language did not matter.
The recruiter setup a phone interview for an hour. I could not attend the interview as my daughter was sick. So, the interview was rescheduled with no problems.
The interviewer was very calm, giving me plenty of time to think and come up with an answer. He also gave me tips to lead me in the right direction. Overall the interview experience was very good. It was an hour long interview.
Questions asked:
1. How would you implement a hash map in java if for some reason you cannot use java.util.HashMap class?
2. Can any class be used with an enhanced for loop i.e. for each loop in java?
3. How would you implement threads in java. Go over all the details of join, wait etc.
4. Why do you want to work at Amazon?

Pergunta 1
How do you implement a HashMap in java if suppose there was no java.util.HashMap class available.
Tough interview.
The Process: Automated Online Assessment (OA) with 2 coding questions and a system simulation, followed by a 4-round virtual Loop. Every single round started with 20 minutes of intense, behavioral behavioral questions diving into Amazon's Leadership Principles, followed by 25 minutes of technical coding or system design.
Amazon interviews are a test of mental endurance because you have to switch from deep behavioral storytelling straight into complex coding which can be so difficult. I used Apex Interviewer to practice the cognitive context switch. Running through their live-coding workspace helped me ensure my technical communication and architectural structures remained sharp and automatic, even after spending the first half of the interview defending my past project metrics. I fed the practice AI questions I extracted from glassdoor and gothamloop.
In the end, the offer was way lower than I hoped.
