I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
I only got an online assessment so far. I got it all correct, but I am still waiting on a response from them. The assessment consisted of two leetcode medium questions; the first one was a bit easier than the second one. Then had to answer questions based on situations as a sde at amazon choosing the best answers.

Question 1
Developers at Amazon are working on a new algorithm to sort a permutation of n integers using the bitwise AND operation. For an array of integers, arr and some chosen integer k, you can swap the i-th element with the j-th element only if (arri] & arr[j)) = k, where '&' represents the bitwise AND operation.
Given an array arr of n integers which is a permutation of integers from 0 to n - 1, i.e. contains all integers from 0 to n - 1, find the value of the maximum non-negative integer k for which the array can be sorted using this algorithm. It can be shown that it is always possible to sort the array. Report O if the array is already sorted.
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.

Amazing process, was asked 2 dsa questions then hashmap internals and then basic introduction in dsa question i was given hints too, ovrall a great experience, will recommend everyone in the house
