I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Sep 2020
Interview
First there was screening test followed by interviews. Now there was some ambiquity in our interview process. Nothing about the rounds were clearly mentioned. Some people had only one round of interview while others were asked to give 2 inteviews on the same day. On certain parameters, they selected people from only one round while some from 2 rounds of interview. I gave 2 interviews.

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.
