Amazon Engenheiro De Software interview questions

I first had three phone interviews, consisting of "standard" technical questions that you can find elsewhere on this and other sites. About half of them were algorithmic questions, and the rest were design. For a couple of questions I had to write actual code, whether reading it to the interviewer or emailing them. I then had an in-person interview that was six or seven engineers from my prospective team, which was mostly more of the same, just harder. All of my interviewers were very easy to talk to and get along with. I knew very few of the answers just off the top of my head, but I talked my solutions out with the interviewers, including my assumptions and ways to make the problem easier.

I'm contacted by the recruiter directly after I put my resume on job searching websites such as monster and linkedin. The interview consists of two phone screens and 1 onsite. Phone screens mainly focus on large scale data processing questions and basic java and data structure. Onsite questions are comprehensive: your research, their project, white board coding, and algorithm. Some of the algorithm questions are challenging.
