I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Warsaw, Masovia) in July 2019
Interview
The process took about 2-3 weeks. First-round was a codility test with 3 tasks every of different complexity levels (easy, medium and). After successfully passing the first stage, I was invited to onsite interview. The interview was about 4 hours with the classical Amazon approach. The overall experience was good except that they don't provide feedback.

Question 1
1. Smth like this one "Search a Word in a 2D Grid of characters"
2. Long description but in short words, the task was almost like an implementation of "Rabin-Karp Algorithm for Pattern Searching"
3. Design an interface for File System manipulation. (cp, find, rm...)
4. Architecture design was to design airport landing - taking off system.
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.

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
