The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2011
Interview
After 3 phone fairly technical interviews about OOP and string related questions, I was invited to Seattle to answer a few more string and array related questions. After 1:1 interviews and was told later that I was not a fit for the team within 12 hours of returning back home.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Given an array, put all repeated characters together.
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
