I saw the opening on a jobs-site where the recruiter from Amazon had posted the Opening. I heard from her after a month of applying. Then across next 2 weeks - I attended telephonic screening -around 45mins-60 mins. Then there was a lull for 1 week. Then I was asked to come for in-house interview for full day. The day kept changing as the the interviewers were travelling. After 2 weeks since the telephonic - I went for a full day interview at World Trade Center. I reached by 09AM - but interview started only by 10.30 AM as the first panelist had urgent work to do. I was put-up in one of the meeting rooms and asked to not venture out any where. I was given an interview schedule for the day - with the list of interviewers and their interview time slot. I was told that pre-packed lunch will be served in the same room- It was quite efficient and surprising! I faced 7 F2F interviews (last one was less of interview and more of getting-to-know). I had feeling that I did well and will convert. But, Recruiter went silent for a week - so I emailed her- fearing the worst. Then she told they want to do another telephonic interview with a senior leader and are finding difficult to get his slot for same. ( I could make out that it was the Bar-Raiser Round). Neverthelss, in week-2 since in-house interview, my telephonic interview was done (by a Director) and then a week after that I was told that after the debrief, panel as given go-ahead for job offer. Then I was asked to submit all proofs of income etc from current job for recruiter to make me an offer. The recruiter took good 2.5 weeks to roll out the offer - as there are approvals required in their teams also.

For manager and above, once the recruitment team identifies a candidate, they are scheduled for interviews. Apart from a phone round, folks will typically go through 4-6 rounds of additional interview. It will help if candidates are able to structure their responses in SBI format bringing out strengths that align with Amazon leadership principles.
