I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Gainesville, FL) in Feb 2014
Interview
I submitted my resume on University's career fair, and got an on-campus interview which would be two weeks later. However, just before the interview day, the campus HR emailed me and told me that it was changed to a phone interview. I personally preferred on-campus interview because face-to-face interaction makes me feel much better. Technical interview over a phone was never a good experience for me. I failed the programming problem and didn't pass the first round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Three questions, all technical. The first two were about basic data structure and algorithm. The third one was a programming problem through an online coding platform.
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
