I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon in Aug 2022
Interview
The process was quite simple. 1) They started with a quick introduction of themselves followed by my introduction. 2) Then they opened online editor and gave me 2 questions. One of them was based on trees and the other one was on 2d arrays. 3) A strange thing was that they only asked 2 coding questions nothing else no oops, os , dbms ,projects ,system design etc

The Quick DSA Check: A 20-minute easy question usually means the company treats coding as a baseline filter rather than a tool to stump you. They want to see clean code, good communication, and proper edge-case handling without the stress of a complex puzzle.
The Deep Dive: Spending time on your projects and tech stack allows you to show ownership. Interviewers love to see why you chose a specific technology and how you handle technical trade-offs.
The Behavioral Weight: A full 30 minutes dedicated to behavioral questions means this team deeply cares about culture fit, communication, and how you collaborate under pressure.
