Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 3 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Amazon (Washington, DC) em nov. de 2011
Entrevista
I was contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn for a local Amazon interview event at my area. I sent my resume and was invited to the event, which was held in a hotel in the area. When I got there the interview day, I was told that there can be up to 4 interviews, which was the number of interviews I had. (I saw some people getting cut short after 3 interviews.) 3 of the 4 interviews were pretty much coding exercises, 1 one was a design question. They ranged from average to difficult, but not that different from what you'd expect from companies like Microsoft, Google, etc. Overall, it was an enjoyable and well organized experience.

Nothing out of the ordinary - some questions were harder than the others
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.
The phone screen went longer than expected, focusing heavily on implementation details. The interviewer really grilled me on my approach to a Least Recently Used (LRU) cache, asking how I'd combine a hashmap with a doubly linked list. I felt well-prepared since I had gone through system design examples on PracHub, which made me comfortable discussing eviction policies. The later rounds included more technical questions and behavioral interviews, but in the end, I received an offer, though I ultimately decided to decline. Overall, I’d say the process was average, with solid questions.

Design and implement a Least Recently Used (LRU) cache supporting get(key) and put(key, value) in O(1) average time. Walk through combining a hashmap with a doubly linked list, eviction policy when capacity is exceeded, and how you'd extend it to handle thread-safe concurrent access.
Recruiter reaches out after applying through Amazon careers, no referral. Had an initial OA, then after a month had four rounds in two days - three coding one system design. Each round had 30 min behavioral and 30 min coding.
