Process
The first step is a phone interview, lasting 1 hour. It includes behavioral questions and one LeetCode Medium question.
There are four loop interviews, with a similar format to the phone interview. One round is a "bar raiser" round, which consists purely of behavioral questions related to Amazon's Leadership Principles.
