It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2025
Interview
I received a Online Assessment that contained a Technical Portion, which was two questions and 90 minutes to solve them. Then a Work Simulation which had a time limit of 4 hours. After that I moved onto the Onsite Interview which consisted of three rounds over a 3 hour period.

Interview
Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.

The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
