Solicité el puesto a través de un captador. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon
Entrevista
An onsite interview. I found the interview very bias and I faced discrimination because all the interviewers were from the same region, and I was asked if I on Visa or a Greencard holder during the interview process by one of the interviewers. Before answering her, I asked her if it made a difference and she said that she will pass me if I was a Visa holder. It seems that since a lot of companies had a layoff, a lot of companies are hiring visa holders than American Citizens/Greencard holders. There definitely needs to be an investigation on why major tech companies like Amazon are hiring certain people from certain regions.
The technical round kicked off with a challenging system design question about creating a real-time product recommendation engine for Amazon. It required deep thinking and a solid grasp of machine learning principles. After that, I tackled a complex DSA problem on finding words in a grid using a trie and backtracking. Funny enough, that exact question was on prachub.com just days before, so I felt remarkably prepared. The overall process was intense but rewarding, and I was thrilled to receive and accept the offer afterward.
The interview process was smooth, and the interviewer was professional and friendly. It was online and took about 35 minutes. The recruiter will give you some guidelines on how to prepare.
Only had first round, a recruiter reached out to me as I had applied for another role. the total time to interview was 2 weeks. One recruiter interview and then with the hiring manager
