      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2012

      Interview

      My amazon interview consisted of two back-to-back 45-minute technical phone interviews. Each one was fairly standard: they began with open-ended questions (i.e. Tell me about a project where you had a problem but overcame it), then moved to open-ended technical questions (i.e. What is tree? What is a binary tree? Can you think of a situation where you would want to use a tree with a higher degree of branching?) and finally moved into a pure coding exercise, which I wrote and then dictated verbatim to them. The coding challenges were about on par with what I've experienced in other technical interviews - they were routine tasks that focused on efficiently solving a simple problem. I received a call from HR a week later with an offer, and I accepted it.

      Question 1

      Can you think of an example of a scenario where you would want to use a tree with more degrees of branching than a binary tree?

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      I had two Leetcode style questions to solve in 70 mins, after I finished I had to take personality questions which were exhausting. The first question was something similar to leetcode 1402.

      Question 1

      The Second question was something like this: In an Array there are some numbers: numbers that are considered true values, a number that is the the some of those true values and outlier/s. write an algorithm to find the biggest outlier (there might be 2 outliers in the array).
