I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Washington, DC) in Aug 2024
Interview
Interview was straightforward. 2 coding exams, and 2 behavioral exams before phone screen. And then 2 technical followed by 2 loop rounds which was 2 back to back days. Heavy Java, Python and Linux leetcode questions. This was for a L3/L4 position. I’d say just as difficult as my previous Microsoft, Google and Meta interviews. Told to write from scratch a script if 1000 lines of code in 15 min. Code had to fully function for me to get the phone screen interview.

I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Dublin, Dublin)
Interview
Behavioral questions, asked to tell about how team disagree with me and we handled that. After that coding question: Balanced brackets. Given stream of chars, tell whether it is balanced or not (each opened bracket should be closed). As follow up, asked how to extend code to support other symbols.
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Arlington, VA)
Interview
They give you a couple of online assessments then a final round to discuss the code you wrote and make sure you wrote it. You can probably find all of the questions on leetcode.
