This time, we share a more comprehensive Amazon VO interview experience, combined with Programhelp's assisted experience, showing how to successfully pass the interview through remote assists, real-time reminders, and strategic preparation. The characteristics of Amazon VO are that the interviewers' styles are very different, the difficulty of coding varies from easy to hard variants, and the BQ part is closely related to the Leadership Principles. However, through precise preparation and assistance, we can perform steadily in every round.
Amazon VO
VO1: 2 BQ + 1 Coding
- BQ Title: Miss Deadline + Harsh Feedback
- Coding: LRU Cache variants
The interviewer was a white guy, very friendly overall. The BQ part was very quick, the questions revolved around past project experience and how to deal with deadline pressure. Programhelp helped me to put together a specific case template and STAR framework in advance, so I answered the questions in a clear way, and I was able to explain the background of the problem, the actions, and the results quickly.
Moving on to the Coding stage, it was a variant question on LRU Cache. While I was writing the code, I discussed Runtime / Space with the interviewer, who was very friendly and even encouraged me to propose optimization solutions. I used Programhelp's training to practice LRU optimization techniques and boundary condition tests in advance, and successfully wrote the code and proposed optimization solutions within the limited time. Perfect! After that, it was over. The whole process was easy and efficient.
VO2: 1 BQ + 1 Coding
- BQ Title: Dive Deep
- Coding: Word Search II variant (Trie + DFS)
The interviewer in this round was an Indian, with a very cold style, staring at his cell phone almost the whole time without giving any feedback. BQ is a typical Dive Deep questioning method, asking me about the technical difficulties I encountered in the project and my thoughts on how to solve them. Although the interviewer didn't interact with me, Programhelp's real-time voice reminders are especially important at this stage, helping students clear their minds, avoid nervousness, and make sure that they describe the details of the project completely.
Coding is a variant of Word Search II, which requires Trie + DFS. After I wrote the basic solution, I found a bug and fixed it in time. The interviewer did not give me any positive feedback, and even gave me a sneer. Programhelp's assisted training will familiarize the students with Trie construction, DFS backtracking, and optimization techniques in advance, so that they will be able to hold their ground in logic and code even if the interviewer is not enthusiastic. Finally, the interviewer asked about runtime, and then it was over.
VO3: 1 BQ + 1 Coding
- BQ Title: Outside your domain
- Coding: Valid Parentheses
This round was with a white interviewer, very friendly and an alumni. He directly explained that his group is the recruiting group, and introduced the manager of the next day. BQ asked easy questions, mainly about project experience and some technical extensions. The coding question was very simple, it was Valid Parentheses. I finished it in a few minutes, and the interviewer gave me a bonus question, saying that it was not scored at all, and asked me to share my thoughts on it.
Programhelp familiarizes students with common basic questions and bonus questions in advance to ensure that they can respond efficiently to easy questions and show their highlights to impress the interviewer.
VO4: Pure BQ round
- BQ Title: Miss Deadline + Outside your responsibility + Proud of project
In this round, the white manager was very friendly and helped me clarify some parts of my answer that were not clear, and encouraged me to talk about the part of the project that I was most proud of. Programhelp helps students in advance to sort out the Leadership Principle cases, highlights of the project, and strategies for coping with the difficult points, so as to ensure that the BQ answers are clear and focused. The whole process was like a relaxed conversation and went very smoothly.
