I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services in Jul 2020
Interview
First round was phone screen with a recruiter.
Second round was a 1 hour interview which was 1/2 behavioral questions, 1/2 coding problem.
The final round was 5 1hr back-to-back interviews which are coding, behavioral, and system design.
Technical interview for a System Software Test & Development / SDET Student position.
The interview included one coding question about string compression, including a short follow-up about doing it in-place with constant extra space.
The second part was a system testing question based on a simple hardware diagram with two systems, a MUX, and Flash memory. I was asked how I would test the system using the given APIs.
There was also a short discussion about locks and shared hardware resources. Overall, the interview was practical and focused on coding, testing approach, and clear explanation.

Interview
Long. Be prepared to answer every "tell me about a time when" question you can think of. Did not seem particularly relevant to the role I was interviewing for (Communications PM). Some interviewers were nice, one was outright hostile.
