I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2008
Interview
Highly Technical questions on core programming and algorithms. Added questions on design and data modeling based on experience. 4-5 different interviews on a single day. Phone interview was also technical and coding/algorithm based. You really need to know your stuff here. Get to meet intelligent people and interview experience will be memorable.

Question 1
Standard background and motivation questions — what attracted me to the company, and a walk-through of recent
Could not use AI during the first interview. The recruiter was helpful in the screener but the coding exam was tough including the take home test. Did a few Leetcode examples but apparently that wasn't enough.
Online assessment then virtual technical interview about 3 months later. Technical interview had 3 coding questions to answer while sharing screen. The technical interview is split across different people and can be split into different time as well.
