I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2016
Interview
Spoke to a couple of recruiters initially about my background and broad strokes what types of projects i'd been working on in the past. had 2 rounds of that with 2 different people before moving on to the technical interview. I had made it pretty clear prior to the technical interview that my background has not been the "traditional" cs degree career path and that did not seem to be an issue until the technical interview which seemed VERY geared toward people fresh out of school.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Arrange values into a binary tree and retrieve that a specific value
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.
