I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Kānpur, Uttar Pradesh) in Dec 2012
Interview
I was placed on campus on which they did shortlist on the basis of a test on interview street. The test comprised of multiple questions which were from computer science background only and two coding questions. After the shortlist there were 4 technical interviews with each running for about 1-1.5 hours and were all technical knowledge based.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
To design a model (data structures, what must be already computed..) for building a T9 dictionary.
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
