I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Iaşi) in Nov 2024
Interview
I got the interview online with a very kind woman from Asia that explained me the whole process and her role in the company. We started talking about my experience what drew me into the swe field, then some hr questions that lasted about 15 minutes. We got to the technical question which demanded some bits operation(after i asked her in the end) but i did'nt quite figured that out and got up with a frequency vector solution that got the job done. Complexity and memory space questions were asked and that was kinda it. Unfortunately they said no. But good experience.
