I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Eugene, OR) in Mar 2014
Interview
Two 45 minuet phone screenings back to back with different engineers. The first interviewer was a bit sharp, and straight to the point. After saying hello he just asked if I was ready and sent me a link to a collabedit so that I could code. He had a thick accent, and was somewhat hard to understand, really seemed like he didn't want to be there. Second interviewer was much more pleasant, asked a few questions regarding discrete mathematics before going into a coding problem on collabedit as well. Once finished he asked for an explanation of the time complexity and if I had any questions.

Question 1
Given an array of person objects that contain a name and gender, sort the array such that all females are before males in the array.
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.

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
