I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
I applied for a different role, but finally attended the BIE interview after a phone screen. There were 5 rounds of interview. 2 rounds were exclusively for Amazon principles. 2 Technical rounds (1 for SQL and 1 for scripting lanugages). I never mentioned that I know python in my resume, but been given a Python question to answer. I was totally clueless and lost my confidence therein. Behavioral rounds were tiring and exhausting. There was a grumpy and self boasting person in one of the behavioral rounds. Totally couldnt take up his attitude and self boasting stories. I could crack the SQL question and the other round on use cases in analytics.

Question 1
SQL query and a Python program with data provided.
The interview process was smooth and conversational. The interviewer was calmly asking questions about my previous work experiences and listened patiently. He even gave me ample time to frame my answers.

few rounds of interviews ranging between technical and conversational. Mostly in the form of " tell a story of time where ..." to show how you relate to amazon LPs
The first interview is a technical phone interview that assesses your skills in SQL and Python, specifically data analysis with python. The interviewer pastes the description of an SQL problem on the code editor and asks you to write your answer while describing your thought process. They give you hints when you're stuck.
