The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2011
Interview
I had applied online and received an email scheduling my first phone interview within a week. The interviewer was very helpful and kind. As said in the email, the interview was based on data structures and algorithm complexity.
He asked me to write a program based on arrays and binary tree.
1) Write a program to find the largest sum of two consecutive integers in an array?
2)How to find the height of binary tree?
3)Why amazon?
I cleared the first one and my second phone screen is in next week.
My advice is to revise data structures, algorithm complexity and be honest if you dont know any answer. You can give some information closest to the given question.
Be confident :)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write a code to find largest sum of two consecutive integers in an array with syntax and read it aloud?
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.
