I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Boston, MA) in Oct 2020
Interview
They use the STAR method which isn't anything new and they do send you documents to help you prepare. That being said, the folks who were actually interviewing me were unprepared, mundane, and didn't even seem to know anything about the job or team. Not sure how that's relevant considering Amazon is a huge company with varying cultures depending on each team and pillar...I had several interviews and ended up calling it because it was so much time an effort I was putting in while getting very little out of the interview. Suggestion to Amazon is provide candidates with individuals who can speak to the basics of the role and responsibility, people with personality would be ideal...
You need to engage candidates as much as they need to wow you.

Question 1
"Tell me a time when..."
I had at least 10 questions in a row starting with this. Pretty awful.
it was tough, I had 4 remote interviews in the loop.
my first interviewer had internet bandwidth issues and I lost visual touch and unfortunately made it via audio. It was a very mechanical one.
The next 3 ones were better according to me but in the end I did not get the offer.

Two phone screens, one with the hiring manager, one with a colleague from a different department who I would be working with frequently. After the phone screens, 5 x 45 minute interviews, mostly focused on leadership principles, but also some technical questions.
