I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2015
Interview
This was an in-campus group project interview for recent graduates. It was a one whole day group project, where they give you their project architecture and a booklet that explains what your group needs to do. Accessing Google and asking for your group members help is allowed, but you are expected to be able to write your code and generate output using their code architecture. You would be called twice for a one-on-one during the day that mainly deals with the code and your logic/reasoning. Keep coding till then. You will not have to prepare anything about your work experience/skillset or about yourself.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It is all related to explaining your choice of data structure/algorithm in your code. Nothing outside!
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
