I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2012
Interview
Had 2 phone interviews after posting my resume in Monster. Both were technical. All questions can be found in this site and most of them were about data structures. one of them is to design the elevator class. The interviewers were very nice and so was the recruiter. Over all it was positive.
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
Interview
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
