I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2020
Interview
Applied online. There were two one-on-one interviews and one final loop interview with 5 people over 6 hours and a break. The one-on-one interviews were mostly tech questions -- see below -- and one leadership question. For me, the first interview was almost all tech questions.
The loop interview had five people over 6 hours. Two of the people gave me tech questions, everyone gave leadership questions. Be on the lookout for the "bar raiser". They will really test you to make sure you are a good cultural fit.
