I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Applied on career fair. Recruiters at the career fair asked 2 technical questions. First is how to sort 5 sorted integer array into one big array. The second one is how to give change with minimal number of coins.
Get the on-site interview in Seattle after Career fair, no phone interview. There're 4 interviews that day.
First one, 2 questions. The first question is pretty complicated, but the skills the interviewer was seeking are searching and constructing binary tree. The second question is how to implement a stack using 2 queues.
Second one, don't remember...
Third one, given 2 character arrays, check if all the characters in one array can be found in the other array.
Last one, 2 questions. 1. given 2 sorted integer arrays, find the median number of two arrays together. 2. how to print a binary tree level by level in reverse order.(level 1, from left to right' level2, from right to left...).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Unexpected Question: If you can have one super power, what do you want?
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.

Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
