I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (College Park, MD) in Feb 2014
Interview
Applied through both career fair and Amazon website. Received an email about scheduling an interview a week later. Interviewed with two people for 45 mins each. Both technical but they gave me a chance to ask questions at the last minute. First one was all technical and somewhat challenging (they don't expect you to finish the code). Second one, the interviewer asked few behavioral questions in the beginning but jumped right into technical questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Told me to write a whole data structure with certain features.
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
