The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2010
Interview
I went through 3 rounds of phone interviews and each lasted for about 45 minutes. The content consisted most of data structure and algorithms, basic design and coding problems. And I think it is somehow challenging.
After that I went to the onsite interview which included 5 rounds 1:1 interview. Almost all of them are technical questions related to data structures and algorithms.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How to print a matrix whose size is n*n in spiral order?
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
