I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2021
Interview
One phone screen to start the process. Once you make it to step two, you take an online assessment to better understand your critical thinking skills. The last round is a day of back to back hour long interviews with four different team members.

Question 1
Name a time when you found a solution and it helped others outside of your direct team.
Interview process is lengthy. Starts with a phone interview. Recruiter can be very helpful in the process. The last leg of the interview is a four hour loop. Each hour with different interviewees. They will have a amazon leadership principle and they will ask behavioral questions in relation to that. Don’t repeat stories
