I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2021
Interview
1. Submit application
2. Recruiter will contact you if you pass the application stage for a phone interview.
3. Phone interview with someone with a person with similar role you are applying for.
4. If everything goes well during the phone interview then its the final "loop" interview. I had 4 managers roughly 45-60 mins for each interview. Honestly, this was exhausting.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Jul 2020
Interview
Fairly straight forward , email to schedule call and call confirmation. The call was one hour long with someone in the team I was interviewing to be part of. The guy was bland, and uninterested in my responses. Seemed like he was doing something else because he kept muting himself while i was speaking and un-muting to reply back. I felt like I was just a filler in their application process. Not a good experience.
