I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Sept 2022
Interview
First round was an online assessment with Leetcode easy questions. Second round with a business analyst was mostly behavioral questions. Would recommend preparing everything for each interview. Did not make it through to the third roun, but from what I know it's a discussion on Amazon's current research in whatever ways it overlaps with your resume
