I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2017
Interview
I received an email from a recruiter to get the process going. From there, it was 3 phone screens and an onsite all day interview with 7 interviewers and 1 of those being a bar raiser.
I have been through this process before and was a lot more comfortable this time around. If I could provide any advice I would say put time and effort...a lot of effort into understanding the leadership principles. For whatever it's worth, I would have 3-5 stories per principal. Obviously this is a lot of stories to have memorized, but you would rather be over prepared instead of under.
Also, look on youtube for videos of Jeff Bezos giving interviews describing the leadership principals. This really resonated with me and after watching some of these, it clicked.

I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (São Paulo, )
Interview
O processo é super fluído e rápido. Inicia-se com um phone screen para entendimento de adequação cultural e requisitos básicos da role. Após isso passa para um loop com 4 ou 5 entrevistadores onde no geral se pedem cases ligados ao principios da Amazon. Após essa fase já existe um comitê decidindo pela offer ou não.
The process took a very long time and after 4 rounds of interviwes I got only an auto rejection email. The company check only the Leadership principles, and it looks like they don't have an interest in smth else. Anyway people were nice, the case study was interesting as well.
