I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC) in Aug 2024
Interview
Remote screening and onsite call. I sent my cv through a contact working there already, and got to the next stage. I fell through on the onsite part. The first was an easy binary search kind of problem, for the onsite they looked through multiple behavioral questions and I got 5 problems: the hardest was the mean of infinite series.
