訪問員介紹
訪問員：
"您好，我叫 XXX，大學畢業後曾在 Amazon 實習近五年，之後和我的團隊一起開發過各種後端和前端應用程式。今天的面試內容包括：在前 15 分鐘，我會詢問與行為相關的問題，然後再用剩餘的 30 分鐘回答與編碼相關的問題；此時，我們也會預留 5 分鐘時間，讓您詢問任何關於 Amazon 或相關事宜的其他問題。"
候選人：「好的，聽起來不錯」
Behavioral Question 1
訪問員：
“Tell me about a time when you worked against tight deadlines and didn’t have time to consider all the options before making adecision.”
候選人：
“In my second year as a graduate student, I had to prepare for both the GRE and TOEFL exams while managing a full course load and participatingin extracurricular activities. I prioritized my tasks by focusing on the most important ones first, like studying for the exams and completing high-priority projects. For instance, I would allocate specific times for GRE and TOEFL preparation, then work on my coursework, and finally engage inextracurricular activities in the remaining time. This approach helped me manage my tight schedule effectively.”
訪問員：
“How did you balance the different priorities, especially with such a packed schedule?”
候選人：
“I made a comprehensive plan and followed it strictly. Concurrently studying for both TOEFL and GRE reading sections simultaneously asthey require similar skills was especially helpful to me. Furthermore, communicating with professors and peers to manage expectations and receivesupport was essential to meeting my goal of passing both exams successfully.”
Behavioral Question 2
訪問員：
“Tell us about an experience where you had to step outside your comfort zone.”
候選人：
“Transitioning from electrical engineering into software development was not an easy process for me, and required learning programminglanguages like Java and frameworks like Spring Boot that weren’t covered during my undergraduate degree. I managed this successfully byadopting a systematic approach of breaking concepts down and learning one at a time; for added confidence-boosting I also took online tutorials andcourses.”
訪問員：
“What motivated you to make the transition?”
候選人：
“Software development was more engaging to me than hardware engineering; I enjoyed watching my ideas come to fruition in digital space anddeveloping applications with direct user impact.”
Coding Question
訪問員：
“Let’s now move onto a coding challenge. Build the function from scratch; existing functions that implement Pow may make thistask too simple and should not be used; two examples are included below for your reference:
- Example 1:
Input: x=2, n=5
Output: 32 - Example 2:
Input: x=3.4, n=3
Output: 39.304
Be sure to pose any queries you might need in order to gain clarity on the situation.”
候選人：
“Your understanding is correct. Please explain: should the solution also consider negative powers?”
訪問員：
“Your function must include support for negative powers.”
候選人：
“Start from the basics. In most cases, when multiplying numbers to zero by themselves is equivalent to raising them to power zero– giving us one result per power zero raised to the power 0. If n is negative we can use something called Negation Properties which provides forsolutions when dealing with negative numbers.”
Divide-and-conquer is a good approach for a positive n. If n equals 2, I can square the result by recursively computing pow (x, n/2). For positive n I can divide and conquer. If n equals 2, I can square the result by recursively computing pow (x, n/2). If n is even, I can multiply x by two more times.”
訪問員：
“This sounds like an excellent plan – simply write out your code, then discuss its development process.”
候選人：
“Sure. Here’s the function definition:
候選人：
“I’ll walk through the example where x=2 and n=5.”
This matches our expected output.”
訪問員：
Excellent! Now let’s evaluate your solution’s time and space complexity.”
候選人：
This program’s time complexity is O(logn), due to our strategy of dividing every number by two before performing each recursive operation.Because the stack structure keeps growing with every iteration, space complexity also remains O(logn). “Had we implemented this iteratively instead, space complexity would only have reached O(1).”
訪問員： “Excellent analysis.”
候選人： “This method would have the same time complexity as dynamic programming, however we could also utilize bit shifting to optimize ouralgorithm using powers of two and thus be more cost-efficient.”
訪問員： “Interesting. Let’s move onto the final portion of this interview: Any additional inquiries about Amazon or working there?”
Candidate： “Yes, I do have some questions for you about working at Amazon? What have been some of the greatest pleasures and challenges associated withworking for them?”
訪問員： Working at Amazon has been an incredible journey! I love the flexibility and ownership of our projects; as a software developer I enjoy making decisionsregarding architecture and design of applications while contributing my skills in both frontend development as well as backend programming. Plus ourwork projects vary immensely to keep things exciting!
候選人：
Please describe the projects and experiences from your internship placement.
訪問員： My team creates applications to support various business functions, including vendor and seller applications. For my summer internship, I primarilyworked on rebuilding an Java Spring application. “This experience was tremendously educational: I saw first-hand how large systems aredesigned and constructed.”
候選人： “Thanks for sharing your insights about Amazon’s culture! Please provide an outline.”
“Amazon’s culture is highly fast-paced and dynamic, placing an emphasis on innovation and results. Leadership principlesguide our daily work and interactions among us – it’s an environment which fosters support and collaboration.”
候選人： “Thanks again – it was truly appreciated!”
Interviewer: “Thank you. It was my pleasure speaking with you. A recruiter will contact you within 2-5 business days with next steps formoving forward with this interview process. Have a fantastic day!”
候選人：
“Thank you!”
在我們的協助下 we were able to successfully answer these questions in an interview setting. Not only was their programming abilities evident during discussions andanalysis sessions, but so was their communication abilities and ability to solve problems effectively. These insights will not only prepare us for Amazon interviews but will help improve real-world programming problems as well. Good luck on future interviews!”
