I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Toronto, ON) in Aug 2022
Interview
I had a 45 minutes interview where the first 5 mins were devoted to introduction, then next 30 mins they asked me a leetcode question and then last 10 mins were for 3 behavioural questions. The leetcode question was hard but I just explained to the interviewer what my thought process was to approach that question.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to tell about a situation where I showed bias for action.
Hackerrank round first and then two LC questions as the final round (BFS/DFS medium). Also had a behaviour component, testing the leadership principles and how my experiences aligned with them.
Expect one behavioral LP question followed by a leetcode medium or hard for two rounds. Be prepared to answer in depth on the behavioral questions and review LeetCode’s list of questions from Amazon.
