I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Arlington, VA) in Oct 2024
Interview
There is a three-hour back-to-back interview in a day. The first two hours focus on technical interviews, while the last hour is dedicated to behavioral questions. At Amazon, for new graduates, behavioral questions are considered more important than the technical ones. The interviewer is very friendly and nice.
