Envié una solicitud electrónica. El proceso duró 1 semana. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Seattle, WA) en feb 2015
Entrevista
Four rounds technical interview, at the beginning of each round, there will be some question about your project and experience, some behavior question, technique questions are mostly algorithms and object oriented design. Basic questions are not too hard, however, if you finished the question smoothly, the interviwer will ask for some follow ups, if you can't figure it out, you can't get the offer.
Preguntas de entrevista [2]
Pregunta 1
Given an array and a target value, find two numbers whose sum equals to the target value.
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.
