I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Jul 2024
Interview
Full day technical interview where I talked to 4 different people about leadership principals and did a mix of moderate to hard technical questions. Programming was done via an online terminal they had setup and annoyingly didn't have intelisense (or a comparable auto-complete), though compilation wasn't required.
