The process started with a resume screening. I applied in September and heard back in January where I received online assessments. The first challenge was a debugging coding challenge, the second a data structures and algorithms assessment, and the third one was a workstyle assessment. After completing the OAs you may or may not receive an invitation for a final round interview with an engineer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Debugging challenge was 7 questions and 20 minute time limit.
Standard LC mediums, nothing too crazy. Interviewer was pretty chill and was helpful in pointing me in the right direction when I needed as well. Only thing I would probably change was to study more on graph problems before hand.

Question 1
You are given an 0-indexed integer array weights, where weights[i] represents the weight of the i-th marble, and an integer k.
Your task is to divide the marbles into k bags such that:
No bag is empty.
Each bag must contain marbles from a contiguous range of indices. That is, if a bag includes marbles at indices i and j, then all marbles with indices between i and j (inclusive) must also be included in that same bag.
The cost of a bag that includes marbles from index i to j (inclusive) is defined as weights[i] + weights[j].
The total score of a distribution is the sum of the costs of all k bags.
Return the difference between the maximum and minimum possible scores among all valid distributions.
There were 2 rounds- one DSA round and one HR round.
In the first round they asked me a DP + trees question which was of medium to hard difficulty.
In the second round the interviewer asked me about my resume, my projects, some computer fundamental questions.
Application
I interviewed at Amazon (Tel Aviv-Yafo)
Interview
Applied online and received an Online Assessment. It consisted of two LeetCode-style coding problems with a time limit . The process was straightforward and fully automated with no human interaction at this stage.
