I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
I was brought on-site for group interviews with other soon-to-graduate students.
Had to do a coding exercise all day long in team of 2-3 people.
The exercise wasn't really team-based as there were 3 distinct parts to be done and each member can do one without interacting with the others.
They pulled use twice during the day to discuss our solutions and see what we were doing (twice 15min).

Question 1
You need to be able to explain your solution really quick as you don't spend a lot of time with the Amazon person.
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.

Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
