Interview
simple coding problem, then asked about internals of how maps work vs arrays. Normal interview questions beyond that. Interviewer seemed pretty bored to be there. Was difficult to engage her on any topic.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
After an initial meet-and-greet you must pass a rather lengthy online test that looks for behavior and technical qualifications. I highly recommend you prepare for that online test. After that test I was given a 5 hour online interview with each person getting around 40-50 minutes time one-on-one. Sometimes these interviewers know very little about the job you are seeking, but seeing if you are right for the culture. The technical interviewers can dive in deep.

Tough interview process. To be emphasised they are not looking at how good at your architecture skill, they are looking at how good you can serve their customer. Amazon interviewers use a behavioral interview technique known as STAR. Just practice as much as you can before the interview.
