I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2015
Interview
Simply apply online and got a online test which is very simple (the most difficult question is insertion sort) After the online test, there's a 1-hour phone interview. And it's the final procedure.
For the phone interview, the interviewer first introduce himself and ask you to describe one project you've done. Then you're asked to solve two problems, with one for algorithm for sure. Then you can ask him a question.
The interviewer is very nice. But it's my fault to mess up the interview (too nervous for the first interview :( so I bet I'm rejected.

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
