I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2022
Interview
Interview was challenging and a very interesting experience. Initial phone call with recruiter to gauge interest, then a month or two of silence. Next step was a phone call with a team member on the hiring team- went over background/ qualifications and asked behavioral questions. Afterwards another video call with the hiring manager. Final step was a 5 hour interview with a panel including the hiring manager, one team member on the hiring team, two functional managers that work with the team, and the bar raiser from a totally different team. The panel was intense, very tough questions and each interviewer probed further on each response. No offer for this specific position, however the recruiter mentioned that the interview team thought I might be a fit for other program manager roles. Hiring manager did not seem interested the whole time, so this decision wasn't a big surprise to me.

Question 1
Tell me about a time where you had to make a decision with limited information. How did you make your decision, what were the results.
Applied, Recruiter Screen then nothing. Not sure when I'll get a call back. The process seems super complicated. Will apply again now that I know what they are looking for.
HR Screening was scheduled. Then 1 technical screening phone interview was scheduled, followed by two Behavioral interviews, followed by two System design interviews, followed by 1 bar raiser interview. Lastly there was an offer.
