The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2010
Interview
I had 3 telephonic interviews which consisted of java questions mostly object oriented concepts,design questions and coding.All 3 interviews were more or less similar.They asked design questions-elevator system,hw question-check if 2 strings are anagrams,function to multiply 2 numbers without using the multiply operator(also recursive).implement queue using 2 stacks.

Question 1
Can you implement a queue using 2 stacks where in you can add and remove an element from the queue at the same time?
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
