I hope this debrief of my experience helps you with your process.
Lesson learned: I got so stressed during this process that I could not enjoy my family/friends visit. This DOES NOT WORTH IT!Try not to stress; my respect for this company went down after seeing how POOR and USELESS "feedback" was.
If you invest 9 hours and the company does it too, saying that "I do not have experience enough" feels silly and speaks poorly of the companythat puts employees to interview rounds for hours. Is their lost too. $$$
Exact Feedback:"The team considers you don't have experience enough." "Keep in touch; Amazon wants you" and "Keep applying".
The interview process was a rollercoaster of energy investment, not human. (6 consecutive hours, round 3)All the questions are on Youtube and here on Glassdoor. Nothing hidden. They will ask you the same robotics questions " tell me about a time WHEN...."
1:1's were smooth and with nice people. I felt respected and listened to all along, except for one person.
My conclusion:It is not about your EXPERIENCE (I have plenty, and I don't doubt it for a second) It is about WHO the interviewers are and what they are looking for. Subjective, not objective.

I reached the first video round (they call it phone screen) over zoom. This was after assessment and HR screening. HR teams was great at scheduling the interviews, but they still scheduled my interview a day early which i had not given that on my preference dates. In the mail it was told that it's a role competency based behavioural round with respect to amazon's leadership principles but my interviewer (from US time zone) conducted a mini portfolio round and asked me to present 2 case studies which i was not prepared for. Interviewer didn't care about any STAR method. Got a rejection mail within the timeline mentioned to hear back from them which was 2 days.

The interview process started with a recruiter screening where the recruiter explained the role, team structure, and the overall interview process. The recruiter also walked through Amazon’s Leadership Principles and explained how they would be evaluated during the interviews.
The first round was a 60-minute video interview with the hiring manager. The conversation focused mostly on behavioral questions aligned with Amazon’s Leadership Principles. The hiring manager asked several scenario-based questions about past projects, stakeholder management, and decision-making in complex environments. The interview also included discussion about my experience designing complex workflows and enterprise systems.
Later stages (as explained by the recruiter) include a functional interview with a senior designer where candidates present 1–2 portfolio projects, followed by a final loop consisting of a portfolio presentation, a whiteboarding challenge, and multiple behavioral interviews with different team members.
Overall the process is structured, leadership-principle driven, and heavily focused on real project examples and measurable impact.
