I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Dresden) in Jun 2018
Interview
Almost 3 months from first contact to interview results. That waaaaay too long. The recruitment team is not responsive. The on-site interview was quite pleasant. Interesting conversations but they do tell why you got rejected.

Question 1
Behavioral interviewing based on Amazon's leadership principles
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Dayton, OH)
Interview
Totally foreign process. Casual dress for interview. Interview panel in jeans and T-Shirts which is not business casual. Lunch with very new employee from an entirely different business area than applying. Teleconference interview with people in Seattle. Mainly soft skill and hypothetical questions or individual contribution focused. Interview questions unrelated to job description of manager. I had to pay for hotel and parking on my debit card due to mixup at Amazon travel. I have to wait 10 days to get reimbursed.
