I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2014
Interview
1st phone review was set up by a friendly amazon recruiter with mutual agreed time. And the recuiter will send a email with detail format of review, how to prepare for phone interview, amazon benefits and the complete interview and hiring processes. Reviewer is friendly and nice too.

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

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
