I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Oct 2024
Interview
3 interviews in a back to back format (the loop). They asked LPs (behavioral questions) and technical questions, and they were split pretty evenly in each interview on what they asked. This was for an AI/ML Software Engineering position.

Question 1
First interview's technical question was about LRU cache, second was a dfs on packet launches, and third was a really weird bash script thing to return locations of certain files based on it's suffix. Wasn't crazy difficult but the questions were so weirdly stated and out of place that I was caught off guard.
I received an Online Assessment (OA) invitation from Amazon. The assessment consisted of two coding questions of medium to hard difficulty, focusing on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving skills. The questions required efficient solutions with optimized time and space complexity. After the OA, shortlisted candidates typically proceed to one or more technical interview rounds covering coding, system design, and behavioral questions based on Amazon's Leadership Principles.
Applied online via career site, received OA link within 2 days and cleared it, Round 1- DSA, Round-2 DSA, Round 3- System Design, Round 4- Mixed Technical Discussion and Behavioral.
