I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Cape Town) in Apr 2022
Interview
I had a total of 4 interviews. The first interview was a phone interview where it started off with a few technical questions combined with behavioral questions. The total time was 1 hour. The next 3 were all on one day and all followed the exact same structure. Each starting off with behavioral questions and then moving onto the technical aspect of the interview. These 3 were more in depth questions. For each behavioral question they asked deeper and to describe it in depth.

Question 1
Programming question - Given 2 sorted arrays, merge them. Follow up, ensure only 1 of each element is saved in the merged array aka no duplicates.
Programming question - Given reverse polish notation, return the integer value of the expression aka "5,3,+,2,/" would be 5 + 3 = 8 and then 8 / 2 = 4.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.

The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
