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.

Question 1
They dug deep into some project I had on my resume, and specifically asked about why I had picked certain frameworks.
HR interview, then I had 1 45 minute coding round with 10 minutes behavioral and 35 minutes coding. Behavioral round was typical star format questions probing at leadership principles. Ex. Tell me about a time you took initiative and it didn’t work out.
