I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2014
Interview
I scheduled an on campus interview with Amazon.com after contacting me by email. The interview was two 45min sessions with two different interviewers. Some behavioral questions, some technical theoretical ( what is a BST, what is a hashtable and complexities, object oriented programming concepts) and one technical question each.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a list of integers as input (ex. {1, 4, 5, 2, 6, 7, 1, 4, 2}), return the biggest sequence of ascending numbers (ex {2, 6, 7}).
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
