I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2024
Interview
It was an hour remote call. The interviewers were nice but very mechanical and seemed bored at the beginning if the interview and it was 10 in the morning. They asked two questions, ine about arrays, one more complicated reasoning. The main interviewer seemed to get restless and annoyed I couldn't get to the solution faster
The interview felt extremely fair! I was super impressed by the structure of it. The interview felt like a realistic representation of the role. My interviewers were kind and answered my questions during the interview. The take home portions also felt very fair.
