I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Was contacted by university recruiter requesting an onsite interview. Did not complete any phone screens prior. I think this was either from me handing in my resume at my university's career fair, or just plain luck. Flew me out one week later to Seattle, WA for a day of onsite interviews. Interview structure was different than normal -- work in a group with other interviewees to complete a project. It was a group collaboration project, but coding was done individually. Throughout the entire day, we were to code our individual parts while getting selected for 1 on 1 interviews (twice) during the day. The 1 on 1 interviews were very slack, they just asked what we were coding for that project, nothing in-depth technical. Got a good hotel, good reimbursements, had a good time in Seattle. Got the offer 8 days later. Probably will take it.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Jun 2026
Interview
Empresa extremamente clara sobre o que é pedido na entrevista e isso me mostra a seriedade. Minha experiencia foi positiva e tente se atentar a resolver o problema e não somente decorar padrões do leetcode.

The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
