I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2018
Interview
I interviewed for Amazon Music San Francisco. First round was a online coding assignment, 90 minutes, 2 medium leetcode style questions. Next, directly onsite round. 4 back to back 60mins interviews. Mix of technical and behavioral questions. No single interview was dedicated to just technical or just behavioral part. All of the interviews contained a lot of questions about amazon leadership principles and how they apply to you. Somewhere in the interviews, there was a design questions, a OO design questions and a coding question
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.
