I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Oct 2019
Interview
I was approached by a Software Development Manager through LinkedIn. I submitted my updated resume by email, and he forwarded my profile to the HR hiring manager. I was given a 1 hour Coding Assessment (with 2 coding questions). The next-round was 1 hour Phone-Screen Interview. First few questions were behavioural ones, based on Amazon Leadership Principles. Then the interviewer moved on providing a technical coding question. I did provide a quadratic solution, but I had a tough time coming at a more optimized solution, which I feel impacted the overall performance.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe the most difficult project you have worked on, what were the quantitive results
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 June 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
