I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Tokyo) in Jan 2021
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter about an opening in Amazon. The whole process was long and a very confusing. I asked them to submit an application on my behalf, they got back to me and asked me to directly apply from a link they will provide on Amazon's jobs website. After I submitted the application there was no news until a few weeks later. I got an email indicating that I was not shortlisted for interview, however a few week later I got a message from my recruiter that Amazon wants to invite me for the first interview.
The interview took place and I got the final notice after a week that Amazon won't be moving forward with my application. The interview questions were exactly the same ones that can be searched online and there is a lot of tips on how to answer them.
This interview is probably the only interview that I have spent hours preparing for but unfortunately the outcome was not to my satisfaction.
There was an interviewer who was asking the questions, very professional. There was also a person who was just listening (probably the person whom Amazon calls bar-raiser).
The interview on its own was very well organized but the process to reach that point was not.

The process consisted of three rounds - a recruiter call, a case study round, and a final behavioral interview. The case study involved analyzing a dataset and presenting recommendations to a panel. Interviewers were professional and asked thoughtful follow-up questions. Feedback was provided within a week of the final round.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX)
Interview
The process consisted of a technical and behavioral round. Although the recruiter stated it would cover SQL and behavioral topics, the interview focused entirely on scenario-based and behavioral questions without a live SQL technical assessment. Communication after the interview was poor; the recruiter did not respond to follow-up emails, and an automated rejection notice was sent two days later.
