      Software Development Engineer Intern Interview

      1 Aug 2013

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      Applied directly through their job postings and was contacted by email and then by phone to setup interviews. Initially two phone interviews each 45 minutes in length back-to-back, with a 15 minute break in-between. Later that evening I was contacted to setup a third phone interview. When I completed the third phone screen I was informed that it was for the full time SDE position and not an internship (However I noticed no difference in type or difficulty of questions between it and the previous two phone interviews.) Each interview consisted of a minor overview of what position my interviewer held in the company followed by some minor questions about my resume. (i.e. questions about the programming languages I was familiar with, questions about the difference between imperative and functional programming since I had experience with prolog, haskell, and scheme). Following those there were two or three warm up questions dealing with high level concepts in OOP and data structures. A few questions asking me how I would solve a given computing problem without actually producing code. A more difficult computing question where I was asked to produce code either on my side dictating it to my interviewer or through a shared editor. Finally a fairly difficult algorithms question about working in a very large problem space (working with large data sets) not producing code but attempting to find the most efficient solution.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Given an integer N and an array of unsorted integers A find all pairs of numbers within A which add up to N. (This is the only question I can remember and I had trouble thinking of an answer at the time)

      One online assessment and one virtual interview included a coding round and leadership principle questions; overall, the process was fairly straightforward and not overly challenging for me throughout the experience.
