I applied through university. I interviewed at Amazon (San Luis Obispo, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
The first interview was over Zoom and had 1 hour of code questions, where you had to code your solutions live in a web IDE they provided. Next, there was a 3-hour interview in person where they asked about leadership principles and 1-2 more code questions on a whiteboard, and a more complicated bar raiser question that took 30 minutes to complete, that involved a knowledge of data structures.

Started off with behavioral questions such as conflict resolution and hobbies. Then one technical question about making an efficient money system. Basically given a set dollar amount, what’s the best way to convert that number into a certain amount of coins and dollar bills efficiently.

First Screening call, then initial interview with an engineer (1 hour) and then final interview with four 1 hour rounds back to back with different engineers. For each round its the same, you'll be asked one behavioral question and one coding (LC style) question.

Had OA, was ridiculously simple. 2 rounds of technical interviews, small amount of behavioural questions at the beginning, they go quite in depth surrounding what you say, so ensure you're good with follow ups about the real impact. Leetcode easy or a very easy medium
