I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Chennai) in Jul 2022
Interview
The interviewer introduced himself and then asked about me. He questioned about my projects and asked what was different in it apart from what is already available. Next he moved on to DSA question, where asked me a DFS on 2D matrix question which has a graph approach. He asked me to explain the approach in the first 30 minutes where he questioned me about all the base cases and then he asked me to code. While writing the code he expected me to keep explaining all the edge cases and so i kept commenting. Once the code was done, do not forget to do a dry run on your own and then discuss the time complexity. He asked a few follow up questions to it which were actually good and took time. Overall the interview experience was good and satisfying

Bad OA experience, very hard to finish in 70 mins!!!!! the variance is big, some people get very easy questions, some get hard, unfortunately, I'm the one who gets the hard OA. very disappointed.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2022
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn. Sent resume and after reviewal, was sent an online assesment. Assessment consisted of 2 coding questions (leetcode easy and leetcode hard) and then a series of values driven behavioral questions. After that, I scheduled a virtual interview with an Engineer from their team. A week after interviewing I received an offer.
