I had a very mid interview experience. I first had an OA in December, and got the invitation to the onsite in mid January. The interview loop was all going to be in one day, but one interviewer couldn't make it and ended up rescheduling twice. The interviews consisted of medium leetcode questions, simple system design, and leadership principle questions.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you missed a deadline. What did you do to handle the situation?
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.

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
