I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2017
Interview
2 hour long online coding tests, 2 hour long calls.
The first coding challenge consisted of rounds of about 70 questions similar to an IQ test, followed by 7 super short "find the bug, change 1 line" style questions. Super basic, don't be hindered if you don't understand the IQ test questions, they seem to be a super low level gauge of problem solving.
The second coding challenge consisted of about 30 general personality questions, and 2 longer coding problems. About 20 minutes per problem to get a good solution. I had errors in mine and still got the phone screen.
I received 1 phone interview, started with about 15 minutes of general personality and work experience questions, as well as basic data structures. Literally define data structures, differences between them, and implementations ( ex: which data structure would you use to implement depth-first search?). Maybe 1 graph question was included, but did not go much deeper than that.
The basic questions were followed by 1 programming question, where you talk over the solution with the interviewer then write up the solution in a collaborative text editor. The last couple of minutes you ask the interviewer questions about the company.

Question 1

Was part of the women programme spring insight. Started off with an initial cv screen, then moved onto a hackerrank oa, and then we moved onto an in person workshop with an interview at the end

Question 1
They asked to discuss how I dealt with learning new things
Round 1: OA (Leetcode + behavioral)
Round 2: 1hr Zoom (Leetcode + behavioral)
The interviewer looked very disinterested and bored, like he did not want to be there at all.
