I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Sep 2019
Interview
O1-OA3 in two days. Just some easy level algorithms, OA3 reasoning's time is tight.
I didn't have any referral but still get the OA1 right after my submission.
Seems like not everyone would get an OA, but their response is pretty fast.
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
