I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2019
Interview
6 hours of behavioral questions. Very few Technical questions. Came in with a detailed 25 page plan for a service. Was told by hiring manager that it was "kind of genius". His boss seemed completely sold on me and asked me to email him more info on research I did. No offer was told I want technical enough even though I was asked few Technical questions about a company I built. Two months later AWS launched a service similar to what I pitched and 4 months later they still haven't filled the role. Never interviewing at AWS again.
First round - Hiring manager screening; covers leadership principles important for the job
