I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2021
Interview
45 minutes total - 15 minute behavioral heavily based off leadership principles, 30 minute technical --> generally a leetcode easy or medium that is heavily modified. The interviewer will stick very closely to this timeline, going outside the time constraint is not recommended.

Question 1
I was asked a modified version of two sum, and asked about leadership principles like dive deep, deliver results, etc.
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
