The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Hyderâbâd) in Jan 2012
Interview
Online test of 5 coding questions(easy) for screening to 1:1 interview round. I have heard there is phone interview as well for some people. I didn't have phone interview.
There were 5 round of 1:1 interviews in a single day in their office. They were mainly concerned about our coding skills - covering all testcases, etc..
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a string "aaabbbcc", compress it, = "a3b3c2" . Given that output string's length is always smaller than input string, you have do it inplace. No extra space
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Calgary, AB) in Jun 2026

Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
