Amazon Phone Screen
Summary
I had a phone screen at Amazon in London which included both behavioral (LP) questions and a live coding section. The live coding question was 'Valid Parentheses'.
Full Experience
Part 1: LP Questions
I can't remember exact wording of the questions, but it was similar as follow:
- Describe a situation where you had to push back on a senior leader or stakeholder.
- Tell me about a time when you complete a task on a tight deadline.
Follow up questions:
- What is the project exactly about?
- Why you go for a different approach?
- What sacrifice did you made in order to push to the deadline?
- ... Any other questions to ask for the specific details and make sure you are not lying
Just tell your true stories, and emphasise the LP princlples.
Part 2: Live Coding
Exact same question - https://leetcode.com/problems/valid-parentheses/description/
Location is London.
I hope this help, good luck
