Entrevista
Having your resume approved for the interview is difficult enough, possibly because of the number of applications they receive. After passing that, I had a technical interview with my hiring manager, then a HR talk (including some interview tips!), and then a round of 4 technical interviews in 2 days (individually with the same hiring manager and 3 other people).
The technical interviews followed the same script: introduction, behavioral questions (all based on Amazon's leadership principles), code challenge (either algorithm/data structure related or a design discussion), moment for questions. The interviews always started and ended at the time we had agreed on.

Pregunta 1
Example of behavioral question: tell me about something you have learnt in your job.
Example of code challenge question: given an array of ordered strings (with some empty strings in the middle), return the index of a given string (which may or may not actually be present in the array).
Usually, the questiosn aren't too difficult (no smart gotchas), but they expect you to present a very structured answer (they want to know about the outcome of the situation you presented in the behavioral questions, or some discussion about the code you wrote - time complexity, space complexity, how to improve your code, maintainability, optimizations, tests, limitations, etc.).
