Question 1
Im yet to attend the interview , will update based on that
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Jan 2022
Interview
An Amazon recruiter reached me and had a very short phone screen first, and send me an email. It is clearly stated that you should get yourself ready by doing some coding practice and usually applicants take a month to do the preparation.
, then online coding interview.
Asked only one question.. That went on for an hour..
As I mentioned that was the question.. But I was unable to solve it well.. I tried to make some ways to reach the solution.. But the interviewer was not satisfied with my solution.
