I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2024
Interview
I got two rounds of interviews. Both round include very similar structures: 30min research experience + 20min coding + 5min leadership principals + 5min casual chatting.
For me, the research experience part is the most critical. You can imagine you need to do a job talk without using slides. Make sure let the audiences understand what you were done is the first priority.
The coding part for both rounds are pretty easy. I believe Leetcode easy-medium levels? I don't have too much experience in practicing leetcode, so may be the estimated level is incorrect.
The behavior part is pretty hard for me. If you don't have any behavior interview experiences as me, try to find some FAQs from the internet.
