I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2009
Interview
there were detailed 1 hour+ phone interview rounds. 1st phone interview was simple data structure. 2nd and 3rd were more technical and had lot of questions on puzzle and writing code and dictating it over phone and then analyzing it. Analyze it with run time, memory usage, algorithm used and questions on that.

Question 1
There were 2 questions which was based on dynamic programming.
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
