I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2021
Interview
3 rounds of technical online assessment. The first OA requires you to debug 7 questions that have some type of incorrect code in 20 mins. The second OA requires you to solve two technical problems in 60 mins. The third OA is a work simulation that requires you to answer multiple choice questions on what you would do in a work situation corresponding to their leadership principles.
The Final interview is a 45 minute interview consisting of behaviorial questions regarding their leadership principles, a few DSA questions, a whiteboard coding question.

The Quick DSA Check: A 20-minute easy question usually means the company treats coding as a baseline filter rather than a tool to stump you. They want to see clean code, good communication, and proper edge-case handling without the stress of a complex puzzle.
The Deep Dive: Spending time on your projects and tech stack allows you to show ownership. Interviewers love to see why you chose a specific technology and how you handle technical trade-offs.
The Behavioral Weight: A full 30 minutes dedicated to behavioral questions means this team deeply cares about culture fit, communication, and how you collaborate under pressure.
