I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2010
Interview
I had two rounds of 45min-phone interviews from amazon. They are all technical interviews, only the first one involves 1 question about my project that is not that technical. Other than that, all coding questions!
Depending on your coding speed, he/she will ask you about 2-3 questions. he/she usually starts by asking you to write an algorithm and then asks for runtime/space complexity, then asks if you can do better.
You might expect to read all your code to the interviewer, or he/she might send you a link to online notepad so that he/she can see you typing.
Overall the experience is pretty good.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How to find the unique integer in an array, where all the other numbers appear twice.
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
