Interview
Weeks after applying online, I received the link for Amazon's online assessment. The assessment consisted of 7 debugging questions to be completed in 20 minutes. I successfully debugged each code fragment and was contacted for a final technical phone interview a few days later. There were two questions, both of which were relatively easy (nothing more difficult than tree traversal). I was able to answer the first question pretty quickly but took some time to optimize it, and then struggled with the second question only getting the chance to agree on a solution with the interviewer but not code it up. I received a rejection email a few days later. It was a good experience and my interviewer was great, working collaboratively with me to find a solution.
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.

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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
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
