I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Sídney) in Jul 2021
Interview
Applied online. I was sent three OA’s to complete. The first OA involved identifying and fixing bugs in seven small programs (20 minutes given). The second OA involved two programming challenges (70 minutes given). The questions were around a Medium on LC. The third OA was an Amazon work simulation (90 minutes given) that requires you to select the best action for a given scenario. They want you to answer these according to the Amazon Leadership Principles.
The interview is a two hour block, the first hour with one engineer and the second with another. They both asked behavioural questions for the first 20 minutes and the rest of the time was whiteboard coding. The technical questions will vary depending on the interviewer. The first person asked a Medium LC question (no DSA involved, just string parsing), the second asked an Easy/Medium LC question (DSA involved).

Interview
Got online assessment after a few months of application. There are 3 online assessments. OA1 is coding challenge. OA2 and OA3 are work simulation and some behavior questionnaire. Rejected right after I finished the online assessment.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
3 round OA
phone interview: LC hard + 14LP question
The interviewer is polite and patient, but the question is really hard, and they do not provide feedback.
So I am not sure which part do I failed, I heard some people did not work on any coding question during their VO, and get offer.
