I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Tokyo) in Jan 2022
Interview
The overall process was very nice, I received plenty of guidance on the interview process and never felt it hostile. It was long, but relatively enjoyable during each interview as the interviewers were nice about it.
