I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in July 2025
Interview
The interview process was a little chaotic. Not only is everything by their process of leadership principles, but every single thing must be tied to a number. Not only was the 5 person, 5 hour interview long, but during it, we realized that the position I was interviewing for was no longer offered in the area I was applying for, and I was put on a hiatus until they could figure out what to do next.
Unless you like this format of interview, I would avoid it.

Good experience all around. Never ended up getting hired when I first interviewed. They were fair and let me know some reasons why they didn't. I was also younger and newer to interviewing for companies.
