I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2022
Interview
There were four rounds of interviews, including system design and data & algorithm questions.
The data-related questions focused more on whether the candidate had a solid understanding of data structures.
Overall, the difficulty was moderate, but the answers regarding data structures were not very strong.
