Me postulé en persona. El proceso tomó 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Londres, Inglaterra) en jul 2016
Entrevista
First a hacker rank problem, then an on-site interview with different engineers. The on-site, was 4 problems. Two coding problems, One OOD and One System Design. The interviewers were polite. I recommend practicing as many exercises you can and the leadership principles. For every leadership principle try to match a personal story that focus on that principle. There are 14 leadership principles, you can find them online. Good Luck.

Recruiter screen, followed by an online coding assessment and then a technical phone interview. The final round was a virtual onsite loop with multiple interviews covering data structures, system design, debugging, and Amazon Leadership Principles. The technical questions were practical but time-constrained, and the behavioural questions required specific examples using the STAR format.

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.
