Entrevista
The interview process was quite lengthy. After applying, it took about a month to receive an invite for a nearly 3-hour Online Assessment which included two coding problems (70 minutes), work simulations, and work style questions. About a month later, I received the VO survey, followed by scheduling the virtual onsite interview. This round consisted of three one-hour interviews, all in a single day. While the interviewers were friendly, the questions were more challenging than expected. One of them was an innovative dynamic programming problem, which was tougher than what I had anticipated based on others' experiences.

2. Halfway through a project, realize it might not be the right goal or you need extra time
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).
Entrevista
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.
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.

Pergunta 1
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.
