I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Hanover, NH) in Feb 2020
Interview
4 x 45 minute "loops" asking about relevant experience, resume, insights into leadership principles. Also very informal at times, asking about specifics of stories on cover letter or points of interest on resume. 2 interviewers asked about my MBA classes, what I liked and didn't like and why. Social and personal questions (not intrusive) just as a friendly bit of chat before and after the more directed questions.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Boston, MA) in Jan 2020
Interview
One round of 4 back2back interviews with operations managers that went through the pathways program. All very nice and kind, the interview is just to get a sense of your fit with Amazon´s culture by sharing your experiences. I think it was very important to prepare your stories based on their principles.
