I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
I remember the Amazon software engineering intern interview process only vaguely since it was quite a long time ago. It included a phone screen with coding questions, followed by technical interviews focusing on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving. There were also some behavioral questions centered around Amazon’s leadership principles. The whole process felt structured but intense, and although the details blur with time, I recall the emphasis on both technical skills and cultural fit.
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.

Interview
I can't comment much. I submitted an application for the software engineer position, and not even a minute later, I received an auto rejection email from Amazon (never received an online assessment).
2 behavioral 2 coding not very difficult. Behavioral is tell me about a time you took responsibility beyond your role and biggest accomplishment. The process is exactly the guideline they posted for interview.
