I applied through university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Most of the details of the onsite interview are given once you are past the initial screening.
The interview process can differ from one batch of applicant to another.
In my case, I was asked to show up at around 10:30-11:00 AM. When I arrived, there was about 30 other candidates waiting to be interviewed. At around 11:30 AM, the recruiter came in and and lead us to a room where we can have lunch with the full-time engineers ; this was the time to ask them about their work, company culture, Seattle etc.
Afterwards, each candidate is led to a separate room were they would be interviewed individually. Overall, I had four 45min interviews over 3 hours. They were all technical.

Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.
