The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Binghamton, NY) in Mar 2012
Interview
The phone interview was preety simple, was asked basic concepts about oop and what projects i did, the next day i was called for a one on one interview and was asked to redesign a api that could take any type of string as input and convert it to a corresponding integer output, was then asked to return more than one variable from a function. was also asked to implement a basic system call
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
