I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Sep 2020
Interview
I received OA after applied with referral. The OA contains 3 rounds, first round is C code debugging and relatively easy. Then the 2nd round contains 2 questions and both can be found on leetcode discussion section. The last round simulates working environment and then ask what would you do under various situations. Then it ask many logic questions and relatively easy to do. If I were to pass the OA, I would only have to pass one round of onsite interview to get offer but I did not receive onsite interview even though I past all test cases in 2nd round. It was new grad position so it might be different for social recruitment.

I received an Online Assessment (OA) invitation from Amazon. The assessment consisted of two coding questions of medium to hard difficulty, focusing on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving skills. The questions required efficient solutions with optimized time and space complexity. After the OA, shortlisted candidates typically proceed to one or more technical interview rounds covering coding, system design, and behavioral questions based on Amazon's Leadership Principles.
Applied online via career site, received OA link within 2 days and cleared it, Round 1- DSA, Round-2 DSA, Round 3- System Design, Round 4- Mixed Technical Discussion and Behavioral.
