Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Seattle, WA) en mar 2012
Entrevista
2 rounds of phone screens (mostly technical questions). Then onsite with 5 45-minute sessions. Each session is one on one (or with shadow), mostly doing whiteboard coding. One of them should be "bar-raiser" interview, but I can hardly tell which one it is. Lunch discussion does not talk about technical stuff, but can still be a hiring manager interview (mostly behavioral questions). Recruiter coordinated everything, can be slow and I had to probe them for status update.

Pregunta 1
Some technical problems and some behavioral questions - mostly probing your way of working and cultural fit
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.

Design a scalable URL shortening service and explain how you would handle high read traffic, collisions, database schema, expiration, and basic monitoring.
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.

Given an array of integers return the indices of two numbers summing to a target
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
