Sollicitatiegesprek
This was a technical screen over the phone with use of Amazon's whiteboard web app.
Started out asking me for a brief history of my career in the software industry. Then he asked me to describe a goal I've had and how I achieved it. We talked about that for a few minutes and then moved on to a theoretical technical question (no code, just verbal discussion). The final ~20 minutes were spent on the coding exercise.

Vraag 1
You have a huge data file (gigabytes in size) full of URLs, one per line. There are many duplicates throughout the file. How would you process this data to produce an output file with one unique URL per line, followed by the number of occurrences?
Write a function/method with this signature:
bool MyFunc(string term, string input) {}
The method should return true if the search term is found in the input string, even when there are other characters in between.
Examples:
"aba", "bbbbabbxxxxxxbb" returns false
"aba", "bbbbabbxxxxxxab" returns true
Basically, do I see an 'a', then 'b', then another 'a' before I run off the end of the input string?

Recruiter send me an OA and even I did'nt attend it yet, she told me that I failed. After some research they notice they screen my previous OA result. I don't like this lack of system.

First there was the recruiter interview to gather some information. Followed by 5 rounds "on-site remote" with average difficulty, but with some poor performing interviewers. Got denied and was promised feedback but got ghosted.

Typical Amazon procedure: recruiter reaches out. This time, instead of just clicking the delete button, I was actually intrigued with the team: their LEO satellite group.
Pretty much breezed through the HR interview, and then proceeded to the first-round screen. I aced the coding part, and thought I said everything they wanted to hear (coding solution, the (now 16, used to be 14!) Leadership Principles they seem to drink like Kool-Aid over there. Signs pointed to going to the next round of interviewing.
Alas, they passed on me, while continuing to hide behind their veil of non-accountability. Well, I'm done with these Darwin clowns. There are many other good opportunities out there, that are NOT Amazon!

Linked-list question (aced it)
Find all 2x2 sub-arrays inside a larger array (didn't get to that, but I'm sure it's on Leetcode somewhere).
Post-word: I got approached by Amazon twice since then. No thanks!
