Ex amazonian here. About 5 years ago I was invited to beta test an online automated coding system, the stated goal of which was that upon passing, you would be given an offer for an SDE1 position. No webcam stuff, just checking your coding solutions. I don't believe that ever rolled out in that state.

As a proponent of work-sample tests over whiteboards, that would've been a positive step, honestly. Too often the actual coding project is just another hurdle to weed people out before the real test (whiteboarding); actually making offers on the basis of work-samples is pretty progressive.
