I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2011
Interview
I had two phone screens. The first one was relatively easy and I was asked 1 programming question. One about reversing a string . The second interview consisted of two questions, the first question was to find whether any two numbers in an array sum up to give a third and the second question was to print a matrix in spiral order. After the two interviews I received an email from the recruiter to schedule a third. The third interview consisted of more theoretical questions such as define OOP and was also a little behavioral (interviewer asked me about my projects, about working in teams etc.) The coding question was to find a pythagoran triplet in an array which I solved in O(n^2) time using a hash table. I thought my last interview went pretty well but I did not receive an offer.
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
