I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Oct 2014
Interview
I got an employee referral. The recruiter reached to me in 3 weeks and asked me to do an online assessment. And I got rejected two days later. I think a interactive phone interview would be much better than the online assessment. For the 24 logical questions, it would be much easier if you have a number-alphabet table by your hand.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. finding if two binary number are consecutive grey code. (i.e. only one bit difference)
2. finding if two string are rotation to each other. (i.e. return true if s1 = "abcde" s2 = "cdeab")
And 24 easy logical 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
