The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2010
Interview
I had two separate interviews from different engineers. Asked about my background, and got into technical questions. Some of the questions were interesting, but at times I couldn't understand the interviewer, and the one seemed preoccupied during the call.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What data structure would you use to find the 100 closest stars?
system design and leetcode style question. It told me to design a system and walk through how everybody would be using it, what kinds of implementation it would need. As for the leetcode it combined a lot of leetcode problems together into one for an product recommendation system.
