Solicité el puesto en persona. El proceso duró 1 día. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Blacksburg, VA) en mar 2013
Entrevista
Amazon was super fast, they give me the offer the second day after the interview. And it took two weeks for them to give me an interview after I submitted my resume in my school's job fair.
There were two interviewers and they both asked me technical questions. Almost no behavior questions at all. I would say the difficult of their questions were similar to those asked by microsoft but easier than those from google.

Honestly, no unexpected or super difficult question. Just be confident and think about the problem thoroughly. Also, speak out while you are thinking.
Surprisingly easy — I expected tougher questions, but the coding round felt more like a warm-up. The main challenge was a DSA problem about counting islands in a 2D grid, which led to a discussion on DFS versus BFS and handling large grids. Funny enough, I had revisited that exact type of question while prepping on PracHub, which made me feel more confident. The interview wrapped up with a behavioral round, and I accepted an offer, but ultimately decided to decline it for another opportunity. Overall, it was a smooth experience.

Pregunta 1
Number of Islands — given a 2D grid of '1's (land) and '0's (water), count the number of connected islands. Walk through DFS vs BFS, and discuss how to avoid revisiting cells (in-place mutation vs visited set) and what changes if the grid is huge and must stream from disk.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.
Um teste de código online, se aprovado, vai para o loop. O loop é 4 entrevistas seguidas, duas em inglês e duas em português. 3 entrevistas técnicas de código, todas as 4 têm pergunta de liderança.
