I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2019
Interview
After a casual conversation about my willingness to relocate and the history and nature of the work done in the specific department, I was told to expect an email giving me access to an assessment session that would last 90 minutes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The online assessment consisted of two coding problems. There was an explicit description of the situation and the input data. Also, there was a description of the general logic to be followed. Finally, there was a description of what the output should be.
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
