I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Tokyo) in Jun 2020
Interview
After the first interview, I was invited to the 'final interview' which consisted of five one-hour interviews over two days. The email from HR strongly recommended that I view a dozen hours of YouTube videos, read white papers, study the 14 management principles, and prepare interview answers using the STAR method, which I did. I learned that AWS had turned down four earlier candidates, so I started to wonder if I was wasting my time. In all, I invested 60 hours of preparation time and obtained an AWS architecture certification. They declined anyway me without explanation. Thanks for nothing, Amazon.

Initial Screening Interview + Interview with a PM ( I didn't get any further). But typically, there will be another 2 stages if you are lucky to get further... one crossed teams (engineering, marketing, designers...) and one with your team leader.
Both recruiter and PM were friendly and professional.
