I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Toronto, ON) in May 2021
Interview
I initially applied online through Amazon Jobs page and received a reply to complete the Online Assessments in March. I completed 3 rounds of OAs over a span of 2 weeks and received the invitation to the Final Interview which I had it scheduled for May.
The final virtual on-site interview consisted of 3 sessions, each being 45 minutes long. For each session, around 10-15 minutes are spent first with behavioural type questions on variuos Leadership Principles, and the rest are spent for Data Structure and Algorithms type questions.
The DS&A questions were usually started off with a very simple question, and when I got it correctly, they built up from the question with additional constraints/performance improvements.
It took them 5 business days to get back to me with the result.

Q: Did you make any mistakes and what did you learn from it?
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
