I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Apr 2015
Interview
It is a phone interview about 45 minutes. It is technical.
1. First talk about your most challenging project.
2. Talk about several data structures such as tree.
3. Code test. It depends. I heard that the difficulty of this part in a large range. Someone will get a very hard question. But someone will get a very easy one. For me, I think it is a very easy question.
4. You can ask the question about their company or culture.
To be honest, it is not a bad experience. The only bad thing is that the whole process cost much time.
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.
