Not very good! The technical interviewers were not really interested in conducting the interview and wanted the interview to finish even before it started! No introductions given, not even a word described about the role.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Jun 2018
Interview
First interview was mostly on soft skills, second touched on basics of programming, and third was a difficult programming challenge where I had to write an algorithm to convert the time from an analog clock to digital.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2021
Interview
I have never had a worst experience in my life ever. So bad in fact that I had to find an excuse to stop the interview process after the first interview. First and foremost, the 12 leaderships principals are the most toxic and non sense culture I have ever heard of. Not everyone can lead at the time, and not everybody in a company has the skills for it. It fosters a toxic culture of people "wanting to be the boss". I had a 1 hour interview with a hiring manager who spent an hour bragging about himself, explaining how fantastic as an engineer/inventor/researcher/manager he is. I can't even when we talked about me. (I thought I was the one interviewing ...). On a note, I did not apply for the position I was contacted by one of their head hunters. Do yourself a favor ;) Stay away.
