I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC) in Nov 2021
Interview
I got a referral from LinkedIn, then two days later, they sent me the online coding assessment link. I prepared for 10 days and took the test, but I failed to solve problems.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There are two problems, but I just remember the first one. The problem is really wordy and long itself. It is something like the Leetcode 121 (Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock).
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
