I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Oct 2011
Interview
Throughout the interviews, the focus was almost entirely on Data Structures, Algorithms and problem solving.
First, there was an online test with 4 questions and about 2 hours time. We had to write code. Then they called me to their office for interviews. There were 2 rounds of interviews (lots of waiting, took almost 12 hours to get done) with a panel of 2 members each. Then, there was a phone interview with the hiring manager, and then one more interview at their office.
One good thing about the interview process was that the HRs conveyed the feedback from the previous interview immediately and kept me posted on how many interviews remained.

Question 1
How do you check whether a given binary tree is a binary search tree or not?
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
