Based on an event Hackathon. Was the runner up team and got the intern after my second year and then interned there again after my third year. So this is how amazon happened
I applied online and then was asked to do an on campus interview. The questions were very easy and I answered them correctly after a bit of discussion with the interviewer. HR did not tell me that I was actually interviewing with amazons subsidiary imdb so I was unprepared to ask questions. Also the interviewer might have thought that i insulted him at some point. Oops.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Applied through the university's career website (essentially a resume drop), was later invited (via email, I think) to set up two on-campus interviews (45 minutes each, back to back). Met with one interviewer at a time: solved a problem, wrote some code and pseudocode, discussed modifications, trade-offs, runtimes; ended with a few minutes for questions. Got the decision within a week or so after that.
