I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2018
Interview
The SDE Intern Interview Process consist of two online assessment and a 45 minute virtual interview. Online Assessment, Part 1 consist of code debugging and logic/problem solving multiple choice questions. The code debugging questions were pretty easy and the logic/problem solving questions include basic aptitude test questions. I got 5/7 debugging questions correct and got link for the next assessment. This Online Assessment, Part 2 had the coding problems and work style simulation questions. I got only one of them correct with all the test cases passed. For the second question I was getting an exception. Still I got call for the final interview. This was a 45 minute virtual interview with an Amazon Software Development Engineer. It went pretty well. First 20 minutes it was resume walk through, next 10 minutes he asked me behavioral question and finally I had the technical question which I was able to answer. But unfortunately I was not selected to move forward. But overall it had a good interview experience with Amazon.

Question 1
How do you manage the disagreement at your workplace.
During the coding round, I was thrown a problem on edit distance that felt eerily familiar. Mid-way through, I realized it was the same question I had practiced on PracHub just a few days earlier. The interview included a system design question about the Amazon Locker service, which required me to think through various components and customer flows. The final round involved behavioral questions that focused on leadership principles. Overall, the process was challenging but fair, and I was thrilled to receive an offer that I happily accepted.

The journey began with an online assessment containing two coding problems (one algorithmic, one mathematical) and a brief work-style survey. Following a successful screen, I completed a 45-minute phone interview focused entirely on behavioral questions, requiring me to recount past experiences using the STAR method
