I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in June 2020
Interview
I was offered a phone interview first, via a web link to Amazon's Chime. 2nd round interview still used Amazon's Chime due to COVID-19. The first interview was more focus on technical questions and second interview was more focused on Amazon leadership principles. The leadership priciple questions are all like "Tell me a time..." I would suggest you to think about at least 3 stories for each principles.
They ask a lot of technical trivia questions that have nothing to do with the job. They like hearing stories about how you raised the bar and/or made your prior job better. Be familiar with the STAR method.
Panel interview with 4 people. One hour with each interviewer who will ask 2 to 4 questions based on leadership principles related to the job role you are applying for.
first starts with a phone screening.
then if they pass you on you would meet with three individuals for about an hour each. Some of them might be in the area you are applying others might just be a manager from a different ORG.
