I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2021
Interview
I interviewed while the Covid paranoia was still going on, so it was completely remote. I took an online assessment, followed by a "remote onsite" interview. The interview was 4 hours on Amazon's Chime.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I signed a NDA and can't reveal the questions. They were typical data-structure and algorithm questions, mixed with Amazon's leadership principle questions.
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.

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
