I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2011
Interview
I was contacted via email by a recruiter to set up a date/time for the technical interview. I had the interview about a week later. The interview wasn't too difficult, but I guess there was something the interviewer was looking for that I just didn't say. There wasn't anything on Algorithm analysis but the entire interview consisted of questions on data structures: HashTables, Arrays, Linked Lists, Binary Tree traversal.
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
