I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Tokio) in Nov 2017
Interview
The number of interviews depends on the job level you’re applying for(5 times for me - recruiter, director, peer, senior manager, hiring manager). The questions are based on the Leadership Principles and are mostly behavioral questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain how you improved a process in your previous company using the white board
Mostly Behavioral Questions. Some will be totally unrelated. 30% of the interview seems to be all about how you think but, expect white-boarding on functional expertise. Expect a writing sample or portfolio review. Prepare for a full day loop with about 5-7 interviews. It will test your stamina.

Question 1
Tell me about a time your team suffered because you failed to meet a deliverable. What specific steps did you take to remedy the failure? How did you reduce the impact to the team? and; How did you keep the teams trust?
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Chantilly, VA) in Nov 2021
Interview
Overall the process was pleasant, except for one of the interviewers. She was very condescending from the beginning and bragged her only other job, aside from Amazon, was working in a bar. At one point she asked a question and as soon as I started answering she took out her ear buds and starting having a conversation with someone else. Very unprofessional and not a pleasant experience at all. She also lacked an understanding of Maslow's Hierarchy, but was quick to criticize my past decisions that were based on this theory (and proven to work!). This turned my entire experience negative.
