I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (München, Bavaria)
Interview
Overall a good experience though quite long. I went trough a phone screen first before being invited for an on-site interview, where I've been interviewed by 4 Managers for 1 hours each.
The questions were all related to the Leadership Principles and behaviour based. I prepared well and tried to have 1-2 examples for each Leadership Principle and to stick to the preferred structure of answering (STAR). I guess with well preparation the interview is managerable.
I got the response 3 days after the interviews.

Question 1
Describe a challenge that you faced while recruiting and what did you do when you were unsuccessful
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Londres, Inglaterra) in Dec 2019
Interview
I had an incredible experience being interviewed at Amazon! What impressed me the most was, despite being such a big company, the process was extremely agile and the people I had contact with were extremely nice.
First I had a phone interview and after that I was invited for 4 interviews in a row, in their offices in London. I was also challenged to perform a numerical reasoning test online.
The interviews go according to a specific method (STAR - situation, task, action, results) and are based on their 14 Leadership Principles.
My advice is to study a lot and prepare the principles as well. You will find a lot of frequently asked questions for each principle in the internet and Amazon itself provides a lot of information and tips for you to get prepared!
