I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Apr 2025
Interview
They asked me a lot of questions in c++ which I wasn't prepared for and it seemed like a last minute hire because the position was for Amazon SWE intern - special hire

Question 1
They asked me to solve a problem in c++ but all I knew was Python so I wasn't really prepared to solve it to begin with
One round interview with an engineer from a different team, depending on the interviewer, you get a LC styted problem or an OOP one. I got OOP, and it was not too bad.
