Me postulé a través de una facultad o universidad. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Toronto, ON) en ene 2025
Entrevista
The interview process typically consists of multiple stages, including an initial application review, phone or video screening, technical or behavioral interviews, and sometimes an assessment or case study. Candidates may meet with recruiters, hiring managers, or teams to evaluate their skills, experience, and cultural fit. Some companies include panel interviews or multiple rounds, testing problem-solving abilities, coding skills, or industry knowledge. The final step often involves reference checks and an offer negotiation phase before onboarding. Throughout, communication, professionalism, and preparation are key factors in successfully navigating the process.
Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
The phone screen went longer than expected, focusing heavily on implementation details. The interviewer really grilled me on my approach to a Least Recently Used (LRU) cache, asking how I'd combine a hashmap with a doubly linked list. I felt well-prepared since I had gone through system design examples on PracHub, which made me comfortable discussing eviction policies. The later rounds included more technical questions and behavioral interviews, but in the end, I received an offer, though I ultimately decided to decline. Overall, I’d say the process was average, with solid questions.

Pregunta 1
Design and implement a Least Recently Used (LRU) cache supporting get(key) and put(key, value) in O(1) average time. Walk through combining a hashmap with a doubly linked list, eviction policy when capacity is exceeded, and how you'd extend it to handle thread-safe concurrent access.
Recruiter reaches out after applying through Amazon careers, no referral. Had an initial OA, then after a month had four rounds in two days - three coding one system design. Each round had 30 min behavioral and 30 min coding.
