Interview was done via webcam. The interviewer just woke up and was still in their PJs. I was dressed in a suit sitting in my work room. It was one of those "tell me a time when this happened" situation based interviews. It was very technical and not a personal conversation. I never heard back from them about the job or position. Never an email stating you moved on or didn't. Left in the dark.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Jun 2019
Interview
Phone screen with recruiter, phone screen with hiring manager, full day 6hr in person interview with 7 different people. Some of the in-person interviews were actually done over video conference as the team is spread throughout the country.
It was a very competitive application process. That being said there are many opportunities for qualified candidates. The interview was quite rigorous which should require some preparation. I must have got lucky because I did not prepare for mine.
