I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Arlington, VA) in May 2022
Interview
The interview process was very strenuous. It was 4 hours straight and was conducted through 4 different 1-hour interviews (different people for each interview). They asked for exact experiences and metrics from your previous job/jobs and how they related to Amazon's 16 principles. They would ask questions relating to your previous job and you'd need to tie them back into 1 of their 16 Amazon principles.
