I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Gainesville, FL) in Feb 2011
Interview
Four rounds on campus. All were technical. Cracking the coding interview or Programming interviews exposed suffices for preparation. Probably the easiest to crack when they come on campus. At Amazon there is no alternative to really working hard and getting a good team depends a lot on luck. I hated the weather though. It could be a great learning experience but extremely challenging at the same time.

Interview
One online assessment and one virtual interview included a coding round and leadership principle questions; overall, the process was fairly straightforward and not overly challenging for me throughout the experience.
2 rounds:
1st round: 3 behaviorals: Tell me about yourself, tell me about a time you used Gen AI, tell me about a time you faced a problem in one of your experiences
Leetcode similar to LRU Cache but a variant
2nd round: 3 more behaviorals; tell me about yourself, a specific experience in my internship, a time you disagreed with manager/peer on a project
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Pretty difficult OA didn't need to get full score. One round technical interview with SDE. Interview was pretty easy, most people I knew at school and friends ended up passing the interview. Took about 1 month to hear back after interview
