I applied online. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Toronto, ON) in Aug 2025
Interview
Honestly the 3 hr loop felt like a maze. First interviewer had no clue, was texting someone on teams and didnt bother to even understand my resume. Second interviewer explained the entire problem verbally (it was a leetcode hard) and asked me to solve the method. I felt blind throughout the interview. I felt they didnt want to hire me in the first place and just finished it for name sake.
