Process

I applied online. The process took 2 months.

Started with a recruiter call. Follow-up was a single hour-long technical interview. After that, was scheduled for 5 hour-long onsite interviews in a day. No take-home interview at any point.

Questions

Questions were based on Amazon Leadership Principles and focused heavily around that. I don't feel comfortable sharing specifics.
