I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2019
Interview
I applied to be an SDE Intern back in November 2018 and received a response in December for the first online assessment. I wasn't in any rush and submitted it after a week and received the second OA a few days (5) later. I submitted the second OA and 10 days later, I received an invitation to a virtual final interview.
I received the email on a Monday and the first available interview was the following Monday. I had deadlines from other offers, so I sent an email to HR and fortunately, they provided me with a time for Wednesday (2 days after receiving the email). Therefore, I only had a total of 2 days to preview for the interview.
Interview went smoothly and the interviewer was very nice. It was a quick brief introduction and then right into the interview (won't disclose what went on). Interview lasted an hour. I received an offer 2 days later (because I notified HR that I had a pending offer).
All in all, my experience was fantastic. The HR was very responsive and I have no complaints. Excited to be interning there this summer!
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Interview
Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
