The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Sep 2011
Interview
College recruiter contacts with me to set up a phone interview.
Go through 2 phone interviews in 4 week and then fly me to seattle.
On site 5 b2b interviews took about 5 hours.
must be familiar with Data Structure to get the thing done.
don't be panic when you cannot understand the question at first time,
you should be able to solve it when you are calm.
That's why I blew out my interview... panic....
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
