I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (California, MD) in Mar 2025
Interview
first amazon principles and then the leet code. he asked behavioral question like what would you do in this and afterwards what will u do to improve that and then he started the coding he asked me medium level leet code but when I solved it quickly he began to give me test cases which I already thought of so I solved that too but still got rejected.
Had one virtual interview with an engineer. Prior to that, there was a online assessment with a leadership assessment (behavioral). Process was smooth. Heard back within reasonable time (1-2 weeks).

Question 1
valid brackets on leetcode and we dove a bit deeper
First there was an online assesment and two rounds of tech interview where each round had 2 dsa problems which were lc medium and some behavioral questions and project related question.
The interview process was straightforward and friendly. It started with a recruiter screening, followed by a technical interview. The interviewer asked basic coding questions, object-oriented programming concepts, and a few behavioral questions based on Amazon Leadership Principles. The coding problems were not very difficult, and the interviewer was willing to provide hints when needed. Overall, the experience was positive and well organized.
