I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (München, Bavaria) in Feb 2020
Interview
I' started the process at the beginning of February with an online application and around 2-3 week later i get an email for the analytical exam (it was a lot of data and graphs analysis, around 40 questions that people usually answer in 30-40 minutes).
2 weeks later i get an invitation for a phone interview with the that was going to be my manager. In it we talked about my CV and my experience, a lot of the questions were related to the projects and tasks that i had work on.
Around 3 days later i got a confirmation for a on site interview (because we had all the issues with Corona, it end up being a VC interview) where i had to send my available time for the next weeks in order for them to coordinate it.
On the day i had 4 interviews of an average 1 hour regarding the Amazon principal question but one of them was an excel data analysis text, where I had to come out to the answer of some questions.
In general i will advise you that you research some of the questions that are common to be ask in Amazon and from them check from you experience what you could answer them with.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2019
Interview
The process was fairly straightforward and basically everything you read about in terms of interviewing with Amazon. It can be easy if you prep for it, though it will be very challenging if you do not. It started with a call from the recruiter followed by a phone screen with behavioral interview questions. Then I was invited to Seattle for an in-person 6 hour interview. Here is a breakdown of the interview process.
Interview A: The hiring manager. This was a very laid back interview with a few behavioral questions and some brief follow up questions. We discussed the role, his expectations, and what it takes to succeed at Amazon. Overall this was the easiest of the interviews.
Interview B - This was with one of the head's of vendor management. It was two behavioral interview questions that were relatively easy focusing on data analysis and a case review question. Overall this interview was a little more difficult because you have to walk them through the process of how you would approach a unique problem they are currently experiencing.
Interview C - this was with a strategy and insight professional. I thought it was the Bar Raiser, however, I don't think it was. More behavioral questions nothing too difficult and very little follow up in terms of the answers I provided. I went into lunch very relaxed and confidant in my interview at this point.
Then I was able to break for lunch for about an hour and then came back for the fourth interview and here is where things went off the rails.
Interview D - this was most likely my Bar Raiser and this interview was highly difficult and a little disorganized. She was very clear in the 3 questions she asked about which leadership principle she was asking. However, my problem with this particular interview is that instead of working together to challenge me to deliver a great answer she just picked apart my career and told me everything I did was wrong. Quickly interrupted my responses and argued with every answer I gave. I admit that I did not handle it well and regardless of how well I did in previous rounds I knew this woman was not going to be inclined to hire me, which is honestly unfortunate.
Interview E - this interview was easy compared to the previous one, but it ended after like 45 minutes, however, by that time I was ready to leave.
Overall, the process was easy but I wasn't altogether impressed with the interview process because of the way Interviewer D handled herself - I know the Bar Raiser is important but she was just rude and borderline unprofessional which is probably what they are supposed to do, but I still think it is trite to diminish the accomplishments of another person just because you are trying to hire and develop the best. I do recommend applying and interviewing here. The process will make you a much better interviewee in future interviews. Good luck!
