I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Aug 2022
Interview
It was an oncampus drive in my college with around 500 candidates. I was in my 3rd year and Amazon came for a 2 months summer intern role with a stipend of 80k/month. There were just 3 steps-> Coding test-> Leadership Principles test->Interview. In the coding test there were 2 problems to be solves in a span of 70 minutes. It depends on luck weather you gest hard or easy problems but the majority of candidates were getting 2 medium questions. I completed my test in around 10 minutes and got selected for the interview.

Had one virtual interview with an engineer. Prior to that, there was a online assessment with a leadership assessment (behavioral). Process was smooth. Heard back within reasonable time (1-2 weeks).

First there was an online assesment and two rounds of tech interview where each round had 2 dsa problems which were lc medium and some behavioral questions and project related question.
The interview process was straightforward and friendly. It started with a recruiter screening, followed by a technical interview. The interviewer asked basic coding questions, object-oriented programming concepts, and a few behavioral questions based on Amazon Leadership Principles. The coding problems were not very difficult, and the interviewer was willing to provide hints when needed. Overall, the experience was positive and well organized.
