I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Toronto, ON) in Dec 2020
Interview
Applied in August, received 3 rounds of online assessments in October. In order, they were debugging test, coding test (leetcode easy - medium), and a behavioral settings test. Success in these three leads to a final interview with a software engineering manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leadership Principle questions. Interviewers tend to pick their favourite LP and ask a behavioural question around it. Also they ask leetcode (medium - hard) depending on the interviewer.
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 Jun 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
