I was given an initial coding challenge comprised of a debugging challenge as well as a more complex coding problem. The issue is that the IDE they use is really buggy and made it hard to code on their platform. There were other issues with their process as well, including an incorrect timer and no auto-save/submit feature.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublín, Dublín) in Apr 2021
Interview
Was approached by a recruiter on LinkedIn, then did an online programming test, then a phone interview. The whole processo took around 2 months. Every e-mail is sent by a different person. They provide no feedback at all in any of the steps. The phone interview is very scripted, you can easily find the possible behavioral questions online. There was also a coding assignment during the interview, it was a very simple string search problem, they ask a lot about time and space complexity.
