I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Started with a phone screen. Very simple problem that required talking through with the interviewer and suggesting different ways to solve it. Was informed almost immediately that I was moving to the virtual on-site interview.
The on-site interview consisted of four interviews. All very professional and well structured. Started with introductions, Amazon principle questions, and then technical questions. I would suggest practicing Leetcode medium and hard problems.
