I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Applied through the university's career website (essentially a resume drop), was later invited (via email, I think) to set up two on-campus interviews (45 minutes each, back to back). Met with one interviewer at a time: solved a problem, wrote some code and pseudocode, discussed modifications, trade-offs, runtimes; ended with a few minutes for questions. Got the decision within a week or so after that.

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
