I got a mail from HR of Amazon, Hyderabad. They were recruiting for Kindle team in Chennai. I replied with my CV and was invited for the interview. I told him I would not be able to make it to the interview on 6th. He asked me to take an online test on 4 Feb and see if I can make it to their office by afternoon. I did the same.

Below are the questions in the online test:

Q1. Search for a value in a given BST.

Q2. Return the number of distinct pair of elements in a given array that add up to a given number.

On 6th Feb, there were 2 rounds of interview. I can\'t remember most of the questions but below are a couple of them:

Q1. Return the first non-repeating character in a string.

Q2. Given an array of integers that first increases and then decreases, (a) determine the index of highest integer, and (b) search for a given value.

I wasn\'t selected, rightly so. Nor did I expect to be. The interviewers who came from Chennai were young, dynamic and appeared hard-working, besides guiding me towards a solution when I was stuck. I learned alot. Thanks, Amazon.
