I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2020
Interview
My interview experience was fairly short and insignificant. Both the technical and behavioral portions ended up being brief. My interviewer began with the technical portion, only asking one question before quickly moving on to the behavioral segment. For this, my interviewer sent two behavioral questions over Amazon Chime (the software they use for video interviews) text messages. I did not receive a follow up, but the process overall was neither here nor there.
i applied online around october, got the OA around march/april originally for summer but headcount was reached so i expressed interest in being considered for their fall internship. they reached out in late may and got my interview scheduled in june

The Quick DSA Check: A 20-minute easy question usually means the company treats coding as a baseline filter rather than a tool to stump you. They want to see clean code, good communication, and proper edge-case handling without the stress of a complex puzzle.
The Deep Dive: Spending time on your projects and tech stack allows you to show ownership. Interviewers love to see why you chose a specific technology and how you handle technical trade-offs.
The Behavioral Weight: A full 30 minutes dedicated to behavioral questions means this team deeply cares about culture fit, communication, and how you collaborate under pressure.
