      Software Development Engineer Interview

      22 Nov 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2014

      Interview

      I was contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn and proposed to have an initial phone conversation. During the conversations I got some information about the team they were hiring for, expectations from a candidate, and I provided some information about myself. Then recruiter asked how much time I needed to be prepared for the technical phone screen and scheduled it the next week after my response. The phone screen was conducted by an experienced engineer and it was 1-hour long. They called the next day after the phone screen and informed me that I passed the interview and invited me to on-site interview in Seattle. The company paid for my flight to/from Seattle as well as for my 2-night stay in 4-star hotel close to the office. They even reimbursed taxi to/from airport, meals and car parking in my local airport. Recruiter was nice and very helpful in the process, she prepared me for behavioral questions that would be asked. I had 5 interviews 45 minutes each during the day. Everyone was nice and friendly, questions were not very hard but still required deep and careful thinking. Recruiter called me the next day while I was still on my way back home and congratulated me on successfully passed on-site interview.

      Calgary, AB
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      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
