I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon in Aug 2013
Interview
Contacted them through a recruiter and applied online. The whole interview process was really fast. They flew me in to Seattle for an onsite interview. Amazon threats you well and the people there look really intelligent and passionate about their jobs.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It was a very challenging group assignment, few behavioural questions.
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
