I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Jun 2022
Interview
I applied to a different position at Amazon. You start with the Online Assignment 1-3. After that I got declined.
Half a year after I got a mail from AWS asking me if I'd like to interview to a new position.
I had a first technical interview with a developer (over video conference), asking me leetcode questions as well as questions about operating systems.
After that I had a 2 interview "on-site" interview day from home, with a team lead and a senior developer, asking hard variations of leetcode questions as well as leadership principal questions.
The interviews were overall really fun and challenging, all the people I interacted with (especially the HR representative) were really nice, helpful and welcoming.

Interview mainly consisted of DSA and questions on Leadership Principles.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
The interview process started with an initial recruiter screening, followed by technical interview rounds. The technical interviews focused on data structures, algorithms, problem-solving, and discussing my approach clearly. The interviewers also asked behavioral questions related to teamwork, challenges, and past projects. Overall, the process was structured and professional.
