I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2015
Interview
I had an expedited process with a single phone screen. Started with a basic Object Oriented definition question, then a question on Linked Lists. There was also a basic "Do you know how to do programming 101 debugging" questions to make sure you at least know what programming is.
My Amazon interview process started with an online assessment that included behavioral questions based on Amazon’s Leadership Principles and a coding assessment.
After passing the online assessment, I moved on to the in person interviews. My first interview was with the hiring manager and focused mostly on behavioral questions tied to Amazon’s Leadership Principles. We also discussed my previous experience and projects. Toward the end, I was given a system design coding problem.
After that, I interviewed with a lead engineer and another engineer. That interview was more technical and included a LeetCode style coding problem. I had to explain my thought process, work through the problem, and discuss my solution with both engineers. Made it to the final round of interviews

I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC)
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
