I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Scheduled two, 45 min interviews on campus. First 45-min interview was not bad. The usual "tell me about yourself" question, followed by a series of questions describing data structures. Finally, had to implement a Version parser using simple functions.
Second interview was required finding the first two numbers that add to a total in the array. Use the largest indexes. Overall not too difficult
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typing the code in notepad for the second interview, since I had not coded C++ in a while. I would recommend reviewing typing code.
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
