I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Aug 2011
Interview
I did 2 phone interviews. Both were 45 minutes and were coding questions. The interviews started off with a 5 minute ice-breaker, and then went straight to coding. This was several years ago, so I doubt Amazon still hires interns like this.
They do, however, still offer you a full-time offer at the end of your internship if you perform well. This is how I got my full-time position at Amazon.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
This interview was so long ago, that I do not really remember.
They were basic algorithm questions. One involved using a Hashmap and the other was an Array problem.

Interview
One online assessment and one virtual interview included a coding round and leadership principle questions; overall, the process was fairly straightforward and not overly challenging for me throughout the experience.
2 rounds:
1st round: 3 behaviorals: Tell me about yourself, tell me about a time you used Gen AI, tell me about a time you faced a problem in one of your experiences
Leetcode similar to LRU Cache but a variant
2nd round: 3 more behaviorals; tell me about yourself, a specific experience in my internship, a time you disagreed with manager/peer on a project
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Pretty difficult OA didn't need to get full score. One round technical interview with SDE. Interview was pretty easy, most people I knew at school and friends ended up passing the interview. Took about 1 month to hear back after interview
