Process
Once my application was submitted and reviewed, I got invited to take an assessment which comprised of both behavioral (what would you do in situation X) and technical questions.
That was then followed up by 2 technical coding interviews with Amazon SDEs, 45 minutes each, where you answer 1-2 questions.
Questions
This was a while ago, so I don't remember the actual questions. However, there are a lot of examples online!
