Technical Coding

Amazon sent me an email and set up a phone interview. It was pretty technical and not too difficult. Then there is a second interview which was originally scheduled about 2 weeks later. I am still waiting for the result.

The whole process has 2 stages, first is a phone interview, it was a mix of technical and behavioral questions. The final interview was a multi-stage process, it included a presentation and a Q&A session at the end. The Q&A was not only about the presentation, but also general interview questions. The second part was a one-hour interview with the placement committee. The third part was an interview with the hiring manager. Unlike other interviews, there was no initial screening interview by HR.
