I went through a full day interview process, with 2-3 people interviewing per hour. There were logic questions, coding on whiteboard (algorithms and SQL), and design questions. There were a couple slots where it was just general questions and talking about previous projects, which was a nice break from having to code all the time. They also throw in a culture interview with the HR rep at some point in the day as well.

Interview
Standard, had to do a set of brain teaser questions within 45 minutes. Difficulty was moderate, one question was about data structures and the other was basic string manipulation. The interviewer was available for questions and guided me.

I was contacted by a recruiter based on my qualifications. I was sent a code challenge to complete over the weekend and then was scheduled for the culture fit interview. Once I completed the culture interview, I was scheduled for a technical interview with the hiring manager.

Interview
Got contacted by an Amazon recruiter on LinkedIn to invite me to apply to one of their offers.
We then scheduled a first phone call to talk about my profile and the position.
The recruiter never called and didn't answer my LinkedIn messages afterwards.
Complete waste of time.
