Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Fully concentrated on core of data structures(trees are considered), oops concepts and modelling and algorithms- Some were about solving realtime situations. If you know java, your proficiency over the language and coding conventions are tested. For all the questions, white paper coding was a must and expertise in analysis of its time complexity was taken into consideration along with the code
Includes some questions on basics of OS too.
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 June 2026

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.

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
