I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2023
Interview
There are a lot of videos on YouTube that specifically preps candidates for interviews at Amazon. Watch them and practice. There are several rounds to the interview and most of these videos go in-depth in what each round entails.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to work or make a decision quickly under a tight deadline.
All is about OLP. You should prepare about 10 episodes and assume OLPs you might be assigned, and associate with the episodes that match to OLP. It would be better to use different episodes for each interviewer, but you can use same ones.

Question 1
Please tell me an episode that you have difficult challenges but you found the solution and overcame the issue.
Even for senior positions, you have to go through all the basic assessments like pretending to go through a day in the life of handling email, IM and meetings. Very basic and not very helpful to the role I was interviewing for. Then they forced the phone screen to be out of my time zone as a way to see how you do "when out of your comfort zone". They spend more time playing games than actually reviewing people.

Multiple choice questions about effectiveness of write up summaries from emails. None were a good answer.
