The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Sep 2010
Interview
started with few questions: 1. maximum subarray problem: complexity and pseudo code, 2. evaluation of a mathematical expression: how to model this using an OO language, 3. Given a single linked list, choose an element from from that list randomly and equal distributed. At the end of the interview
I got the oportunity to ask few questions about the job.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Maximum subarray problem: complexity and pseudo code
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
