Was smooth so far. Delayed responses but not too much. Applied in August, went through in September. Got rejected after the technical interview. A lot of friends got questions like palindromes and etc. from a bootcamp student recruiter, which are 6 lines of code, literally. I did not have such luck. Got a breadth first search problem which I solved, but not efficiently. Probably the reason why got rejected.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard behavioral questions and a breadth first search algorithm problem.
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
