I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2013
Interview
First with a phone interview. Ask questions about basic data structures, time complexities etc. Then followed by a coding question. I was write the code with a shared pad with the interviewer. It took 45 mins.
After one month is the onsite interview. From 10:45am to 4:30pm. I first make a presentation about my previous work. Then followed by 5 rounds of back to back technical interview. Each interview required writing code on the whiteboard. Need to analyze complexity of each 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
