I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Dec 2019
Interview
Tell the candidate a little about the job: While you don’t want to dominate the interview time, you should start with a brief summary of the position, including the prime responsibilities, reporting structure, key challenges, and performance criteria.
Why do they want to be here? Is it the challenge of the job, advances in the industry, or something specific about your company?

Interview questions [2]
Question 1
/*
Design a module that takes a 1B input stream and converts it to a 32B output stream.
Each stream has the signals valid, rdy and data.
- Assume this is a single clock domain, reset is whatever you like
- Assume that the input valid can toggle, and can stay low for any number of cycles
- Assume that the rdy coming from the 32B side is always asserted to start
din[0] = 0xff = clk 1
din[1] = 0xfe = clk 2
...
din[31] = 0xc0 = clk 32
dout[255:0] = 0xc0 ... 0xfe, 0xff, valid_out = 1

Technical quiz. Not difficult, but not very friendly either. The interviewers dodged culture questions, while hinting that anyone who doesn't want to work 60+ hour weeks, should not be applying.
