      Software Developer Interview

      Feb 14, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Warsaw, Masovia
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Warsaw, Masovia) in Feb 2017

      Interview

      I was contacted by recruiter and got to on-line programming test service (after contact check yor SPAM folder - the invitation doesn't com from amazon domain and the link domain doesn't lead to domain the mail comes from). After online programming skill test I was contacted by a recruiter again and informed about following steps and how to answer questions and solve tasks. Two days of interview were given for choice. Reimbusement travel form was sent and the hotel was reserved and paid by Amazon. The interview took place in another hotel nearby. I was sat in one hotel room, got to sign NDA and was visited by four project or product managers with whom I talked 1:1. After the two there was a 30min break. They told about themselves and what kind of projects I could work on in their part of a company. They examined problem solving approach, system design skills and soft skills called "leadership". All was drawn on a paper, only amazonians were carrying laptops and were making notes. The next week a recruiter called to summarize the evaluation and inform that there was no success and when the next attempt can have place. I was told that if I was proposed a job after the interview I will talk with those people again to choose where I choose to work. Maybe next time. Despite defeat, it was valuable experience.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      During the coding round, I was thrown a problem on edit distance that felt eerily familiar. Mid-way through, I realized it was the same question I had practiced on PracHub just a few days earlier. The interview included a system design question about the Amazon Locker service, which required me to think through various components and customer flows. The final round involved behavioral questions that focused on leadership principles. Overall, the process was challenging but fair, and I was thrilled to receive an offer that I happily accepted.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Compute the edit distance between two strings and walk through the DP table and optimizations.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Design the Amazon Locker service, from customer drop-off and pickup flow to slot assignment.
