I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2019
Interview
My recruiter and interview coordinator did a fantastic job at promptly setting up everything. One screening phone call with the recruiter, 2nd phone interview with Hiring manager, 2nd phone interview with a team member, onsite with 6 individuals each lasting an 1 hour, out of which one was a Bar raiser, part of a non related team. I received feedback within 2 days of each stage and my onsite experience was very pleasant, contrary to the horror stories I have heard. I would think its totally team and recruiter dependent. All based on the 14 leadership principles, and one case study at the onsite interview. Its critical that you talk about details of what you have worked on, but more specifically show why you chose to do one thing over the other. They are looking to understand your thought process, it more about why you did that what you did. Each interviewer at the onsite asked questions on 2 - 4 leadership principles, and its fine to repeat your stories.
The process took a very long time and after 4 rounds of interviwes I got only an auto rejection email. The company check only the Leadership principles, and it looks like they don't have an interest in smth else. Anyway people were nice, the case study was interesting as well.

Did a test task and was called by HR almost immediately for the next round. But salary range (full packet with stock and benefits) and return to office policy did nit much my expectations
very standard. the interviewers had a set of questions to ask about the LPs so we can anticipate beforehand. But I think I got ghosted in the end. One of the interviewers told me about the 2 & 5 rule but its been more than 2 weeks since my last interview and still no response from anyone so idk what happened.
