I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2014
Interview
I got a call from them asking me to atted their interview at seattle. No pre screening phone interview. Went to their office around 8 am and had a look around the campus. There are a group of 25 other people along with me. All are divided into a group of 3 and given a project to work on. It is very difficult (atleast for me). There are two interviews both focusing on the project itself. They never looked at my resume.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The project given itself very difficult. It involves lots of algos and machine learning.
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
