I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2017
Interview
The process was very quick. Recruiter contacted via email as he had my profile on file from 2 years back when I interviewed with them. Fortunately I was also looking for other opportunities at that point so it worked out. Setup a technical phone screen next week.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Given an array of integers arranged in a way that they are first in a strictly increasing sequence and then after a certain point they are arranged in a strictly decreasing sequence. Find the max value in that array
For ex: [3,6,8,13,20,35,33,30,21,17,14,2,1,-2] : 35 is the max in this array
Design the Goodreads recommendation model. Scenario 1: Show all the recommended books by your friends. Scenario 2: Show all the recommended books in your network (so also add friends of friends). 3: Show the top 10 recommended books in your network.
Good interview process overall. The questions were mostly focused on general software engineering knowledge, with a strong emphasis on AI concepts. The interviewers were professional, and the process was well organized.
