After submitting the application on LinkedIn, I received the first round of interview invitations.
First, it has STAR questions, answering with the leadership principles of Amazon.
Then it is followed by a HireVue interview, with EXCEL and SQL questions.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2021
Interview
It was long and intensive. The SQL questions weren't too hard, but not softballs either. The last interview was a 5 round interview on the 14 leadership principles. I found myself reusing anecdotes due to the number of questions. I thought I had enough anecdotes prepared, but unfortunately it wasn't enough.
The interview was a recruiter screen, hiring manager screen, and then the final round.

I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2021
Interview
Asked irrelevant questions that were math based "how do you get 1/2 of a glass of water off of a 1/2 glass full cylinder?". Otherwise interview was normal and as expected.
