I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2022
Interview
I was assigned a online assessment through HackerRank (2 hours). After passing the assessment, the virtual onsite was scheduled 3 weeks out. Onsite consisted of 4 hours of system design, coding, and managerial but they all had a weird mix of behavioral questions in each round based around their leadership principles.
The interviews were just as expected, part behaviour questions and another part of coding. In the last interview there was no coding part but instead an architecture problem. The behaviour questions are just as important as the rest and require candidates to enter into details, giving real examples from real projects done in the past and not hypotetical. I explained exactly what I did and how my work contributed to the success of my project.

Interview
O processo de entrevista consistiu em algumas etapas, majoritariamente focado em algoritmos e estruturas de dados, e também sobre como sua experiência se encaixa na cultura da empresa.
No geral a experiência é bem transparente, porém na última etapa não fui aprovado, e tive que mandar um e-mail para receber algum feedback
