I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2010
Interview
The recruiter from amazon contacted me and then arranged an interview on the phone. The interviewer was a manager looking to hire in this team. Interview lasted for 1 hour and was mostly about data structures and algorithms. Following questions were asked (1) An array of integer in which all numbers occur even times except for one number occurs odd times, find it. (2) Given 2 strings write a function which returns boolean whether all characters in first string occur in second string.

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

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
