I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2013
Interview
I submitted my resume in a school job fair and got reject. But, HR man emailed me to invite the final on-site interview.
In the interview, I met 2 teammates and got one task each. While solving the task, we needed to meet 4 interviews to talk about the task I was doing.
To solve my question, I need to use Map. I got rejected from the interview. I think my way to use Map is not good as other members.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I don't remember exactly because the description of that is too long to remember. The problem seems like real issues of Amazon, not like simple data structure and algorithm questions. I need to use Map effectively.
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
