I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Calgary, AB) in Sept 2020
Interview
2 easy/medium leetcode questions. The IDE is really good. Can write in Java, PHP, Python, Python3, C, C++. Know your data structures and algorithms. You also do a survey thing at the end to show your amazon principles.
Hackerrank round first and then two LC questions as the final round (BFS/DFS medium). Also had a behaviour component, testing the leadership principles and how my experiences aligned with them.
Expect one behavioral LP question followed by a leetcode medium or hard for two rounds. Be prepared to answer in depth on the behavioral questions and review LeetCode’s list of questions from Amazon.
