I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (San José, ) in Feb 2024
Interview
I was taken through an interview process consisting of online assessments, phone-screening with a recruiter, then a final round of 3 coding interviews and a system design challenge. Most of it was pretty standard, except the system design interview with the hiring manager, where I was asked to design a scaled-down version of the system I would be working on if I was hired. This feels like a fairly biased question since the interviewer will already have a solution in mind already.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a poker hand, determine what is the best "play" available out of a limited set (pair, three-of-a-kind, full house, flush).
I got a screening interview at hackerank, I had to solve a problem with Arrays, after that you need to complete 2 behavioral questionaries, they care about the Amazon values when answering those questions

First I spoke to a recruiter, I was sent an online assessment, I passed and then did a virtual interview which I did well but didn't pass, I do think I failed the cultural match and not technical abilities.
