I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Aug 2025
Interview
Not a difficult experience, four rounds with 2 DSA questions and a LLD round. The fourth round is a behavioral rounds. Unfortunately flopped one of the DSA questions with no solution by the end, but crushed the other 3. Depending on your LP answers, you might be able to convince them better.
