I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2012
Interview
I got 1 round phone interview, and 3 algo questions in it. Then I was brought to do onsite. I met 5 people from 9:00am to 1:00pm. Everyone came to ask me algo questions and Object oriented Design questions.
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
