Interview
Very standardized interview process. Four rounds of video interviews with each divided into behavioral and coding parts. Be prepared and you are on top of it. I had an amazing talk with two interviewers that we could not even finish our conversation before it ended. Recruiters usually reply to my emails fast. Negotiation talk is casual and friendly.

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.
