An online test was given, followed by 4 rounds of virtual interviews with various SDEs and an SDM.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Apr 2019
Interview
- Timed coding test online, involved some graphs algorithm problems
- Then an on-site where I cycled through 4 one-on-one interviewers, involved a brief intro/background talk and then some design-related questions (no expectation of actually having experience in designing software systems obviously but it was NOT algorithm questions, it was more about coming up with solutions to the problems they gave that involved at least some pseudocode on the whiteboard by the end of the session)

Question 1
The question that stood out to me the most was about creating a kind of file system. The interviewer was super vague about the required features of this system, I think on purpose to see if I did a good job asking questions to figure out what exactly was the product he was asking for.
