I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2016
Interview
Applied online and within a month I received an email from someone on their placement team to take an online assessment. Online assessment had a variety of simple algorithm debugging questions to complete within 20 minutes.
Was contacted to schedule a follow-up technical phone interview within the week. Phone interview has a 45-minute limit and utilized an online tool to share code with the interviewer as well as a focus on algorithm efficiency, and implementing a correct algorithm to solve a simple task.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
(Phone question) Write an algorithm in your preferred language (C++, Ruby, Java) that takes in a random array and returns the top 3 maximum values.

Interview
One online assessment and one virtual interview included a coding round and leadership principle questions; overall, the process was fairly straightforward and not overly challenging for me throughout the experience.
2 rounds:
1st round: 3 behaviorals: Tell me about yourself, tell me about a time you used Gen AI, tell me about a time you faced a problem in one of your experiences
Leetcode similar to LRU Cache but a variant
2nd round: 3 more behaviorals; tell me about yourself, a specific experience in my internship, a time you disagreed with manager/peer on a project

Interview
Pretty difficult OA didn't need to get full score. One round technical interview with SDE. Interview was pretty easy, most people I knew at school and friends ended up passing the interview. Took about 1 month to hear back after interview
