I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
All were telephonic rounds.
HR did the first level screening - Good friendly conversation.
A Senior Manager did the 2nd round of interview - Did not allow me to answer the question 'walk me through your resume'. Later was questioning my experience. Very unprofessional behaviour. This was an army guy with very very few years in the corporate work space. Seemed to be very unsure of what he is looking for and was doubting my years of work experience. Did not expect this from Amazon. How can they hire good people if they have these kind of managers who themselves don't know what they want.
Another Senior Manager from the US did the 3rd round - The manager from 2nd round had given her the background and it appeared that she was also approaching the interview with the same prejudice.
What I have heard from other Amazon employees that in India they recruit people with not much experience in low payscale. This is just the tip of the ice berg. I think Amazon may eventually end up paying a heavy price for poor human resource management!! Hope they realize this and act accordingly.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me about a challenging situation you handled, were you successful?
The first step, the virtual interview process, was fairly long but easy to navigate and work through, and shortly after, I received an invite to interview in person. However, the location for which they reached out for was for the wrong state.

Question 1
Manager experience, scenarios where I had to act as a manager
Ghosted me after the interview, and they did not notify me I was no longer under consideration. I manually had to check the job portal to verify job application status after a virtual assessment and interview.
The interview process is very robust. You speak with many different people but they moved quickly. Some questions are out of the box and some are straightforward. Overall it was a good experience.
