I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2025
Interview
3 round interview with open test, leetcode hard, and a personality interview. All one hour each, across several weeks. Not particularly hard if you are prepared for this kind of interview
