I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
I applied online on companies career portal. After a few months i got a response and asked to share my updated CV, later got an invitation for an online interview. Interview was basically a problem solving and implementation for a given problem using online coding platform and submit the implemented answer. Communication was solely using emails.
I had just one week to prepare. Beware!
You really need to know the "real" core computer science basics.
If you think your knowledge is rusty, you have to make sure you refreshed it.
