Interview
I am a masters student, and I got a direct call from recruiter through LinkedIn. (Direct onsite) It consists of 5 rounds, 3 coding, 1 system design, and 1 with Hiring Manager. You have an option to keep all your interviews either on the same day or split it over across two days. I chose second option.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Durham, NC) in Aug 2021
Interview
Phone screening with a recruiter. I was then sent 2 hackerrank questions to complete within a week.
The day after I submitted, I got a call saying that they wanted to go on to the final round.
The final round was a 4 back-to-back virtual 1-hour interviews with members of the team (1 was a bar raiser). Very thorough and engaging sessions. All of the interviewers were great and gave help where needed. It was a long day, but no complaints about the interview process. My recruiter made sure to tell me exactly the type of questioms and structure. They were very transparent.
My only real complaint is no feedback after the interviews, but that was told to me upfront before the interview day.
online assessment, followed by full day of virtual onsite interview with 4 parts, each parts containing Leadership related quesetions and other technical. Technical includes Data structure, problem solving, logic and maintainability and system design
