I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (San Jose, CA) in Nov 2024
Interview
1 OA, then one 3 round interview. OA was hard but you did not need 100% to advance and multiple people i knew passed without passing all test cases. Final round was 1 LLD, 1 behavioral and one leetcode round with 2 med-hard questions.
