I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC) in Mar 2020
Interview
Online coding challenge, second one was close but not quite correct. Went through to 4 x 1 hour interviews (no phone screen), all virtual due to covid-19.
1. Not bad interview, two coding challenges (BFS, sliding window), typical amazon behavioural questions.
2. Weird interview. Was constantly walking around their house, carrying laptop while interviewing. Two coding challenges, both not too bad. Typical amazon behavioural questions.
3. Good interview, system design question, pointed in the right direction for possible tradeoffs.
4. Not a great interview, 2 coding challenges where the interviewer just didn't reply when I asked questions.
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
