I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Calcutta)
Interview
It was the first round with debug,aptitude and coding questions.The time alloted for coding question was 70 mins and for the rest sections also the time was sufficient .There wasnt any webcam used so it was kind of not so fair but still it was a good experience.

Question 1
1) merge two linked lists.
2)matrix representing altutudes .find the maximum of minimum altitudes in every path.
It had 2 rounds, and each one had some behavioral questions as well as one technical question. The behavioral questions were about different group work situations that I had before, and I had to describe them. The technical questions were LeetCode medium.

Question 1
Describe a situation when you had a conflict with your supervisor.
The interview was heavily focused on GenAI and Amazon Leadership Principles. The Technical Manager did a deep dive into my approach to prompting LLMs and how I optimize workflows using them. In contrast, the SDE Engineer’s questions were more direct and strongly centered around Leadership Principles.
The role I was interviewed for is SDET. It was through our campus placements. There was an initial screening test, followed by 2 more online interview rounds. The screening round consisted of 7 chapters, like OOPS, Database, Linux, Computer Networks, Programming and so on.

The first DSA question was a maximum subarray-based question, and the second question was a finding the shortest path in a graph-based question
