I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2014
Interview
First we waited. Then we were brought to take some pizzas and talk with the interviewers. Then we took four back-to-back interviews. Some design and algorithm questions. I remember there is a leetcode problem that computing how many ways from upper left corner to bottom right corner with some obstacles in a matrix. I was also asked about some behavior questions. After the interview is done, the last interviewer brought me to go out. About one week later, I got the email that I still need to move on.

Question 1
Behavior questions like a challenging thing you met.
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
