I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2021
Interview
3 steps: Online assessment, Phone interview & Virtual Onsite. The behavioral part was the toughest section I would say. Also, the problem solving/DSA/design part was tough (LC Medium-Hard). The problems I have found were unseen and interesting. Overall the interview process was very smooth throughout the process.
