I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Berkeley, CA) in Mar 2019
Interview
1. Online logic and debugging questions
2. Coding challenge
3. Virtual interview using Amazon Chime.
I did poorly on the debugging stage but I think I did well on the logic portion. Coding challenge was easy and used leetcode to prepare for the third stage. Got an offer and accepted.
