I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2017
Interview
I was emailed an online assessment to complete - this was pretty easy, required basic programming and logic knowledge. A week later, I was emailed a second online assessment for two coding questions. These were harder, but I still was able to get my solutions to pass all but one test case. I was sent a rejection email a week and a half later. Not sure why. I didn't like the lack of human contact during this whole process - it would have been a lot more engaging if I were able to speak to a live human. I'll admit taking online exams is a little less intimidating than in person interviews, but I was also a little freaked out by the third party they were using to administer the test. They track everything you do - eye movement, browser size, webcam, microphone, everything. Understandable to prevent cheating but it was still a little uncomfortable.

Question 1
Rotate matrices 90 degrees to the left or the right depending on input
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.

Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
