I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2018
Interview
Had a single call for an hour with the recruiter, who had reached out on Linkedin. He asked me to come onsite at the end of the call and started the plans to have me travel to Seattle.
Did an interview prep call, then flew out for the onsite two weeks later
The interviews were 4 behavioral interviews with 4 different RMs. All of the questions were open ended, behavioral interview questions, 2 of the 4 interviewers seemed to be very invested, while the others seemed like they were just getting a chore done.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
It was tough. You've got to know your numbers and how you impacted change directly. Also need a lot of examples because you meet so many people. They compare notes afterwards and will notice if you've used the same examples. Hard to do because a lot of questions overlap.
