I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY)
Interview
Two weeks after applying online, I was contacted by a recruiter to take an online assessment which consisted of 2 coding questions (90 minutes) and describing the thought process/time complexity for your solutions (15 minutes).
After doing well in the online assessment, the in-person interview was scheduled for 6 weeks later.
The in-person interview consisted of 4 rounds in one day, 3 coding and 1 systems design with one 15 minute break after the first 2 interviews. Behavioral questions based on Amazon Leadership Principles were asked in each round. Interviewers were very personable and the overall experience was low pressure. The coding questions were very reasonable and not tricky in any way.
