I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2021
Interview
3 rounds -- an OA where they ask 14 short questions, a workplace simulation, and a final round where (if you did well on the OA) the interviewer just asks you to explain your answers to confirm you didn't cheat.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
OA : debugging, small code edits, etc.
Workplace Sim: Answering emails, messages, time management, etc.
Final round: OA review.
Behavioral questions then technical question, back to back to back to back, 45 mins each. Easy to medium difficulty for technical questions. For behavioral questions, one interviewer specifically asked for STAR answers before starting the interview.
lengthy and very intimidating also not friendly to juniors who are still starting out their careers. It started with a phone call which was about an hour. The person on the other end of the phone was trying so hard to be friendly but the setup and rumors I have heard did not allow rest to be part of me
