I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2015
Interview
Was contacted by recruiter to apply for position. Initial interview was an online coding and skill/personality assessment. I was invited the following week to an in-person group interview session which was focused on coding. Overall, nothing was too challenging and ample time was provided, but some careless mistakes cost me on the coding parts.

Question 1
I can't go into specifics, but I thought the first part of the interview wasn't too hard. Tip for coding: go for the simplest solution. As for the skill assessment, GRE quantitative reasoning tests will help, but I thought that enough time was given that you don't really need to prepare for a speed test. I would recommend just writing whatever programs you would normally for fun for the in-person interview. As long as you're comfortable in one of the common languages, it's not too bad.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Interview
Empresa extremamente clara sobre o que é pedido na entrevista e isso me mostra a seriedade. Minha experiencia foi positiva e tente se atentar a resolver o problema e não somente decorar padrões do leetcode.

Interview
Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.

Question 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
