I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Dallas, TX) in Jan 2020
Interview
I applied for the Area Manager position online in late 2019 but before the holidays. After applying I was sent an email with a link to an assessment. The assessment test was fairly easy and consisted of a math question relating to process flow. I finished my assessment and submitted it. I was emailed from amazon HR in early January 2020 asking to set up a final interview and was given a few different dates and times when I could schedule it. I chose my day and time and emailed them back to confirm I had received the email and scheduled my final interview. A few days before my interview was scheduled to take place, I received another email just confirming that I'd still be available to do it and it gave me some instructions about how the interview would take place, meeting IDs, and Chime instructions (my interview was online). The day of my final interview, I logged into Chime and had two different people interview me after a pre-brief with HR. I am currently awaiting to hear back from them on whether or not I got an offer and will update this when I find out, but the entire process was super easy. They have a five day rule for online interviews where they are supposed to let you know within five days of an offer and it hasn't been nearly that long since my interview yet. The interviews were pretty laid back and I didn't find their questions to be very hard... Mostly they are just looking at what your experiences have been and how you solve problems. I can honestly say that I enjoyed the interviews because my interviewers were really friendly and upbeat. I even experienced some technical difficulties during one of them and the guy who was interviewing me was nice enough to call me so we could finish the interview questions. Answer questions in STAR format and don't freak out if they ask you to elaborate on your answers because they're just trying to understand the entire situation example that you give them.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Give me a time where you did something without permission from your boss. What was it and what was the result?
Star Method and Leadership Principles. Just study these from the materials they give you, and form a story for each principle, and when they ask questions, you can see which principle they are asking about.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you faced a conflict or disagreement at work and how did you handle it?"
Multiple online tests after application, followed by a virtual interview with various staff. Staff did not want to be on camera and did not have many good things to say about working there.
Prior to even speaking to anyone about a possible interview there was a long and lengthy testing required. Really disappointing to finish with no feedback or additional details. I only received an email post test.
