I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Mountain View, CA) in Mar 2025
Interview
First I had an OA with two questions, and a 1 hour 15 minutes to complete it. The questions would probably be called medium on leetcode, the most important part seemed to be picking the right data structure rather than knowing a particular algorithm. Based on the results of that, along with my other application materials, I was contacted by a recruiter for a specific job. There was a quick phone screen, mostly just "why are you interested in this company" type questions. I then moved on to a first round interview. The interview was with an engineer, and had a technical component, although it was more theoretical and didn't involve writing much code.
