The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon in Sep 2010
Interview
Recruiter called and set the first phone interview within a week. Did well and had second phone interview in a week. Did well too and set for in person interview. Asked question like data structure/code over the phone and relay about bit manipulation like find how many "1" in an integer in its binary form and find nth fibonacci number.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Write code to find how many 1s are in an integer in its binary form.
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
