I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2019
Interview
The process was fairly simple. I applied online in January. At the end of January, I received an email for three 1-hour interviews. Since I do not live in Seattle, my interview was done over Chime (Amazon's version of Skype). I had about two weeks from the time I got sent this email until the time of my interview.
The interview was three one hour interviews with fifteen minute breaks in between. It seems like a long time, but the interviewers make the time go by quickly. The interview was pretty much all behavioral questions, you could tell that each interviewer was given a different leadership principle. My biggest piece of advice is to prep by listing out 3/4 specific examples for each leadership principle so that you are able to answer the behavioral questions quickly. I was not asked any intensive finance questions, only had one slightly finance based case study. I got an offer about 4 hours later, with 3 weeks to accept.

Interview
Straightforward process:
1. introduction 2. Why Amazon? Why ads? + three somewhat complex BQ questions 4. a short case study 5. My turn to ask questions.
Prepare your BQ really good and go learn the LPs cuz I definitely failed that part and was confused by myself during the storytelling.
