I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC) in Feb 2015
Interview

I was also asked to login to an online whiteboard tool so I can write code.

That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.
