I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2015
Interview
I did an all day on site programming interview process - a new program amazon is trying out. You work in small groups on a coding problem, and throughout the day, Amazon engineers pull you out of the room to interview you on what you are working on and the decisions you make. After this, I received an offer within 10 days.

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
