I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Oct 2020
Interview
First, they have 3 online exams, debugging, work simulation and coding. They were pretty straightforward except from last question of the coding assignment. Afterwards if you pass it like I did, you get asked to do a virtual on site interview with more coding, and behavioral questions.

Question 1
Function to return suggestions based on customer search query
Hackerrank round first and then two LC questions as the final round (BFS/DFS medium). Also had a behaviour component, testing the leadership principles and how my experiences aligned with them.
Expect one behavioral LP question followed by a leetcode medium or hard for two rounds. Be prepared to answer in depth on the behavioral questions and review LeetCode’s list of questions from Amazon.
