I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2019
Interview
Lots of Behavioral fit questions. Always brought back to the amazon leadership principles. Make sure to study these as they are essential to all amazon employees. I would suggest networking with employees in the role you are going for beforehand.

Interview
Applied online. Whole process took a little bit more than a month.
Interview #1: Phone interview w/ recruiter
Interview #2: Phone interview w/ colleague
Interview #3: Fly out to Seattle; interview with about 8 people
Interview #4: Someone was out sick for interview #3, so they set up a 2-hour video interview in the middle of the week. Very inconvenient, considering I had already spent literal days of my time on interviewing at this point.
STAR - Method questions. Incredibly structured, questions are clearly asked off of a page. Seems like you're talking to robots. Lots of repetitive questions from the same interviewer asked in a different way to get a feel for your personality. Not a lot of questions about your actual ability.
Eventually offered me an alternate position, not the one I applied for. I declined this offer.
