I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2015
Interview
I applied through college portal and was reached by the recruiter to give time slots for the interview. The interview was for 45 mins and the interview was firstly resume based. In the last 30 mins, I was asked to code on a google docx. It was a good experience and the interviewer tested my code with various corner cases and regular test cases.
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
