I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2021
Interview
I managed to get to the OA step of the interview.
At the moment I did not know how to solve the problems because I hadn't researched anything on DS& Algos, just applied passively.
So I got a week between being told that I had an OA interview and 5 days to finish the OA. The OA is typically 70 minutes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I got two questions. String manipulation (longest common prefix) and an array problem(I can't remember exactly which one). But I'd say the first one was medium and the second one was easy.
Had one virtual interview with an engineer. Prior to that, there was a online assessment with a leadership assessment (behavioral). Process was smooth. Heard back within reasonable time (1-2 weeks).

Question 1
valid brackets on leetcode and we dove a bit deeper
First there was an online assesment and two rounds of tech interview where each round had 2 dsa problems which were lc medium and some behavioral questions and project related question.
The interview process was straightforward and friendly. It started with a recruiter screening, followed by a technical interview. The interviewer asked basic coding questions, object-oriented programming concepts, and a few behavioral questions based on Amazon Leadership Principles. The coding problems were not very difficult, and the interviewer was willing to provide hints when needed. Overall, the experience was positive and well organized.
