J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en juil. 2019
Entretien
The interview process had five phases. The first two were online tests; the first online test was logic puzzles and basic debugging of a program that has trivial bugs (syntax error, off-by-one errors, etc). The second online test had a more involved coding challenge - think two leetcode medium problems and a workflow simulation. After they process the results of those two coding challenges you are either given an additional phone screen, or move to the final round.
The final round is three interviews each with a behavioral question or two and a coding test ranging from hard to medium problems. In my interviews the interviewer and myself struggled to define the problem as they were poorly explained, and in the final interview the interviewer himself was calling prior work experience as "not real experience" due to it being government work. Additionally if you have technical issues as I had in the first interview they will not give you additional time and in many cases the interviewer will be visibly/verbally annoyed that you had issues with Amazon Chime.

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.

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.

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
