I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2015
Interview
Phone interview coding on a shared doc. It was meant to be specifically for a software development position so the interview was with a current engineer. They were not exactly the easiest to talk to, but the interview was relatively low pressure. Anyone with a good understanding of computer science should be able to succeed at least through the phone stages, and at the very least offered an on-site or in person interview.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2024
Interview
A recruiter connected me via Linkedin and invite me for online assessment. There was two coding exam and first one was easy and second one was medium-hard. They were like LC questions but different story. So the story makes the questions harder to understand. Coding part was 90 mins. So then some leadership questions. It was like emails and instant messages simulations. Last part was what would you do if .... questions.

Coding questions were focused on sorting. You could solve both fairly easily using the Python built-in Sort with custom 'key' lambda functions.
