I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2014
Interview
After an online application, I was contacted by a technical recruiter who set up an appointment with a team member for a phone technical interview. The interviewer asked brief questions about my background and then proceeded with the tecnical questions. The technical question was regarding binary search trees. The binary search tree duplicate keys identification and management were the main topics of the interview. The other question was about how to find and validate a tree as a BST given a range of input parameters.

Question 1
The difficult question was the situation in Binary Search Trees where duplicates are possible.
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
