The process was three rounds of interview two technical and one behavioral round. Basic questions on DSA and behavioral questions on my background. Above and beyond, challenges. For system design I was asked to design a parking lot.

Application
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Herndon, VA)
Interview
Generic LEETCODE 2-3 rounds and system design
Beahviroal and some hiring manager then recruiter feedback and follow up for level up. Level up did not work and i had o say no to them
Tech screen round, and then hiring manager round, then panel interview basic questions like coding and behavioral focussing on leadership principles. Rejected but overall process is quick and recruiter followup is good
It was tough and i couldn't proceed to further rounds it required advanced dsa and system designs thinking, one should start preparing early for this kind of job opportunity it was supposed to be followed by an hr discussion but I couldn't reach till there
