I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2022
Interview
A technical interview was scheduled with a Senior Development Manager. The interview was on Chime. Started off with behavioral questions and asked me to solve 2 problems. The interviewer expected syntactically correct code, and that was a little challenging with the second question. Moreover, it felt a bit rushed towards the end since there wasn't much time left by the time I started solving the second question.

The overall interview experience was good. The recruiter was quiet helping at every stage of the interview and explained the process clearly prior to the interviews. All interviews were conducted virtually on the same day back to back. The questions were mostly related to the tree data structure and one question was related to dynamic Programming.
