I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2020
Interview
3 Online Assessments -- 1st is simple debugging questions and logic questions, 2nd is formatted like leetcode easy/medium, 3rd is Amazon work simulation. Did not finish 2nd question of 2nd interview, still passed to 3rd. Video Chat interview after 3rd online assessment. My interviewer was very impersonal and didn't ask me any behavioral questions or anything about me. Very condescending if I was getting stuck. Most questions were Leetcode easy/medium. Some high-level algorithms questions. Not too hard if you study and don't get nervous. Interview seems indicative of Amazon's culture , they don't care who you are as long as you can do what they want.
Hackerrank round first and then two LC questions as the final round (BFS/DFS medium). Also had a behaviour component, testing the leadership principles and how my experiences aligned with them.
Expect one behavioral LP question followed by a leetcode medium or hard for two rounds. Be prepared to answer in depth on the behavioral questions and review LeetCode’s list of questions from Amazon.
