I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2010
Interview
Got a call from company's recruiter and have a phone interview. The recruiter is very proactive since I originally only get an email and I did not respond to it. Then a week or two later the recruiter called me.
The phone interview is long (around 1hr 15min) The interviewer did not ask many questions on my job but instead ask me several technical questions.
The interviewer is fair but he did not volunteer any hints.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a binary tree, how do you create a function that can swap the binary tree? (i.e. the left child becomes the right child and vice versa)
From this function you just created, can you create another function that will swap the tree in Alternate level? (i.e. swap 1 level and then the next level does not swap)
Interview by recuriter, Phone interview over Chime with one easy Leet code problem and 2 behavioral questions. Although the interviewer was very casual at the start of the conversation, it quickly changed into behavioral questions at the start.

Question 1
Encoding optimization algorithm and talk about a project you did recently.
First round is just leet code coding which screens through AI before going into live coding. Pretty simple and straighforward. Not too tough. Recruiter walks through it pretty nicely. Not sure how many rounds there are exactly
After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
