I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2016
Interview
It was an on campus interview which consisted of two half hour sessions with two recruiters. One asked me right off the bat if I had taken algorithms and was slightly condescending after I told him I hadn't. He told me to spend less time in extracurricular activities and more time doing coding challenges.The only questions asked were coding questions.
I've completed only the online assessment, which included several medium to difficult LeetCode problems. These covered topics such as dynamic programming, greedy algorithms, and graph traversal. I managed to solve all the problems within the time limit and felt confident about my performance. Although I haven’t had an interview yet, I’m well-prepared and eager to move forward in the process.

I got online coding questions and system design choices; overall, it was more medium-level code-type questions. After that, a loop interview consists of coding, problem-solving, and system design. Be careful about behavioral questions, its very important for them
Phone interview. Just a general screening as a candidate. In person interview. With 5 rounds of interviews. Three behavioral and two technical interviews. Alot of data structures and algorithms. Behavioral interviews ask about data structures and algorithms.
