CanadaPosted Dec 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My experience followed the typical Amazon flow but felt rigorous.

It started with an online assessment that included coding plus some behavioral questions. After I passed that, I moved into technical interviews focused on data structures and algorithms, and I had to solve problems while explaining my reasoning.

The final stage was a set of interviews combining more coding with some system design, alongside behavioral questions grounded in Amazon’s leadership principles. Across the whole loop, the evaluation felt like it weighed how well I communicated, how I solved problems, and how clearly I could make engineering decisions.

I didn’t receive an offer.
