Interview
Online assessment 1: debugging 7 functions, i got 5 of them, and an iq test-like portion.
Online assessment 2: coding challenge with two problems, LC Easy and LC Medium
Virtual Technical Interview: brief behavioral questions, LC Medium problem, OOP principle questions, and a LC Hard question.
I took an online coding test in Java that wasn't too difficult, then I had an interview where I shared an online doc with an employee and I had to code two applications that seemed like standard coding questions - it was a little difficult to consider the edge cases in alotted time

I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2018
Interview
Initially there was a coding challenge. That wasn't too bad, and honestly I'd give it a thumbs-up.
The video interview, however, is a whole 'nother story.
There were two parts to the video interview: a behavioral part and a coding part.
For the behavioral part, my interviewer tried to quiz me on an old resume that I used to apply to Amazon for an internship over a year ago. The projects on there were from freshman CSE classes I had taken. I have since largely forgotten about them (and what they were) since they're not that significant to me now. I told him this and I offered him my current resume and he turned me down. The interviewer was very uncooperative here.
(I checked my amazon.jobs profile and my current resume is on there. I honestly have no clue how my interviewers got ahold of the old resume.)
The technical part was difficult since there was a language barrier since my interviewer spoke very poor english. It was incredibly difficult solely due to that. I couldn't understand half of the things he said.
I tried to reach out to the interviewer coordinator to give feedback/talk about my concerns the following day. Instead I was rejected 2hrs later with a generic email.
Very disappointed with the experience. Can't downvote it enough.
