I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Cape Town) in Mar 2020
Interview
After applying via Amazon Careers website, a recruiter got in contact 7 days later. The phone interview was scheduled 4 weeks later. This interview entailed of a few questions based on the leadership principles and basic computer science fundamentals, and then a coding session.
Got feedback 2 days later with success to proceed to the Onsite interview.
The onsite interview was scheduled 4 weeks later. The onsite interview was actually conducted online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This interview consisted of 5 sessions (1 hour per session): 2 sessions based on leadership principles, 2 coding sessions and 1 session on system design.
The entire process was quite pleasant. The recruiter was very thorough in explaining the expectations for each phase of the interview process.
