Unpredictable recruitment process. Throughout process, no recruiter contact with candidate. You will keep getting emails from bot and no way to contact in case of any query.
Few of my friends got rejection email even though they are well deserved candidate and talented. On the other side, people who got selected have literally no knowledge of anything. I declined offer because I understand that such people might be hired in my team too. And I don't want to work with such people who don't know anything and still Amazon recruited them.
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
