I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
My interview experience was unusual. I was put into a group with two other candidates, and we were given 6 hours to complete a programming task. We each had a one-on-one chat with one of the interviewers, but it only lasted around 15 minutes (the main purpose was to for the interviewer to understand who was responsible for each part of the code we wrote). At the end of the session, the interviewers collected our code. This code, the 15-minute chat, and any observations of our problem-solving skills, appeared to be the only takeaways for the company to base its decision on.

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.
