I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Dec 2022
Interview
It took 5 weeks after I applied until a recruiter reached out to me about starting the interview process. The process included an online assessment, phone interview, and 4 interviews for the final round. Everything was reasonable until the last final interview technical round.
