The interview involved an online assessment, followed by a loop interview with three rounds. The assessment happened on November 26th, and I had to wait about 2 months to hear back from the Amazon team. I finally had a recruiter reach out to me in the month of February, informing me that they would revert back to me in another few weeks with an interview date.
