Me postulé a través de una facultad o universidad. El proceso tomó 5 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Kānpur, Uttar Pradesh) en dic 2021
Entrevista
My interview started around 4 AM IST since it was a campus hiring process.
2 Technical rounds and 1 Technical cum HR. (HR guy was from Singapore, and apparently he was proficient enough to evaluate you, though he claimed he wasn't!)
Unlike some other techie Development based SDE interviews, they took the standard approach of evaluating through DSA proficiency.

Pregunta 1
5 Coding questions were asked.
2 in Round 1 and 3 in Round 2. All were of easy/medium difficulty.
One other question during the technical interview was to list down 2 instances of coming up with a non-trivial solutions during Technical Projects/Internships.
The HR round was basically to analyse the approach one opts for during Tech blocks. Seemed trivial. For e.g. - Tell me about a risk you took during any endeavour, where you had the option of not taking it but you went ahead with it.
Surprisingly easy — I expected tougher questions, but the coding round felt more like a warm-up. The main challenge was a DSA problem about counting islands in a 2D grid, which led to a discussion on DFS versus BFS and handling large grids. Funny enough, I had revisited that exact type of question while prepping on PracHub, which made me feel more confident. The interview wrapped up with a behavioral round, and I accepted an offer, but ultimately decided to decline it for another opportunity. Overall, it was a smooth experience.

Pregunta 1
Number of Islands — given a 2D grid of '1's (land) and '0's (water), count the number of connected islands. Walk through DFS vs BFS, and discuss how to avoid revisiting cells (in-place mutation vs visited set) and what changes if the grid is huge and must stream from disk.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.
Um teste de código online, se aprovado, vai para o loop. O loop é 4 entrevistas seguidas, duas em inglês e duas em português. 3 entrevistas técnicas de código, todas as 4 têm pergunta de liderança.
