I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Singapur) in Jan 2021
Interview
Before even interviewing, HR pressured me to disclose my current salary. I gave them a range I was expecting, and they agreed the offer would definitely be within this band and not to waste each other's time.
Later, after 8 tiring rounds of interviews, HR threatened again they would not make an offer until I disclosed my actual salary. I had to show them a local government regulation page stating this is no longer allowed.
Then when the offer came, it was still 20% below the floor of my expected range, and definitely below my current salary. The recruiter also said I had 48 hours to accept the offer, otherwise it would lapse. This was so ridiculous and unpleasant I rejected the offer without negotiating further.
Overall very unpleasant experience with the recruiting team. I would advise future candidates to request for 40-50% higher than whatever your target is from the start.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you deep dive into data?
I applied via my MBA career center through the traditional recruiting cycle. Overall it was a positive process and I enjoyed everyone I interviewed with. It was about what you expect from an amazon interview.
