I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2019
Interview
A Director at Amazon had reached out to me on LinkedIn. Then had a 30-min phone call with Hiring Manager. Just job experience and overview of the team in this call. Then went onsite. One round with HM, one with Sr SDM, one with Business Head of the team, one with a L7 from a different team and one Bar raiser + Bar Raiser in Training.

Question 1
All rounds revolve around Leadership Principles. They all sound like questions about your past experience, but they are fishing for each Leadership Principle. And in your answers, they dig further and ask you probing questions to rate on whether you are weak, medium or strong on each LP. So work backwards from the LP, prepare a story and ask yourselves probing questions . Your answers to probing questions should satisfy that particular LP. Doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. They go by the book.
It had 6 rounds- heavily focussed on leadership principles. they really do cross question almost every other example.......... You get multiple interviewers across the organisation. I thought- the questions were repetitive after one point.
