I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Bellevue, WA) in Oct 2024
Interview
Applied June 2024, OA received in September, interviewed in early October, heard back 3 business days later. The OA involved a regular coding assessment, a work-style assessment, and a work simulation. I applied for the New Grad 2024 role, so my interview process might have been a little different than the regular, but I had three interviews. One was fully behavioral, one was half behavioral and half technical, and the third was entirely technical. None of them were particularly hard, because I think they were looking to see how I thought more than getting a certain answer out of me. Technical problems were a weird combination of leetcode and theory.
