I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2025
Interview
I was directly approached by the interviewer regarding the opportunity. As part of the initial screening, I was asked to complete an Online Assessment (OA) within a one-week time frame. The OA was structured into three distinct modules:
Coding Assessment:
This module included two algorithmic coding questions similar to LeetCode problems, ranging from medium to hard difficulty. The focus was on data structures, problem-solving, and time-efficient solutions.
Behavioral Questions:
This section assessed my communication skills, ability to handle workplace scenarios, and alignment with the company's values and culture. I was required to respond to situational prompts.
Overall, the OA was designed to evaluate both technical proficiency and soft skills, and it provided a comprehensive first step in the selection process.
