Applied online at Amazon.com. Got a phone call from a recruiter about a month later. The recruiter scheduled me for a phone interview with another recruiter. Had the phone interview, then received word about 2 days later that I had passed and would move on to another phone interview with a Site Manager. Had that phone interview, and that person also informed me that I'd be a good fit for the company and recommended me to conduct an on site interview. Got an email from another recruiting coordinator a week later and was scheduled to fly to Amazon in Seattle, WA for onsite interviews. Had 4 interviews with regional directors and an HR manager. Went straightforward and as discussed in the emails leading up to the on site. STAR format, know the leadership principles inside and out and thread them into your behavioral answers they ask. Have your stories ready to go; practice the behavioral style questions before you get there.

For manager and above, once the recruitment team identifies a candidate, they are scheduled for interviews. Apart from a phone round, folks will typically go through 4-6 rounds of additional interview. It will help if candidates are able to structure their responses in SBI format bringing out strengths that align with Amazon leadership principles.
