I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2016
Interview
Interview process started with phone interview then after passing within two weeks I was set up for onsite full loop. Phone interview was to find the most repeated paths (most used). After the offer I was given L4 I asked for higher level and they decided to proceed with one extra interview after the on-site. Then I got an offer for L5z
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
