1. online assessment where you had to fill out some behavioral scenarios/questions. pretty straightforward
2. hirevue - why amazon OFRP, tell us about you, etc.
3. final round: 2 45-min interview rounds - they really focus on STAR method, so practice that

Was reached out by a recruiter to set up the initial phone screen where I was asked basic behavioral questions. I was also asked basic excel formulas along with a question about which product I would choose based on very little information they'd give. They look for how you think and what your train of thought is, not really a correct answer. They have follow up questions to that so if you BS your first answer it will catch up to you. After passing phone screen, you have 2-3 interviews with managers where they also ask similar technical questions along with leadership roles. They also look for people who are familiar with Amazon's principles so be sure to know that.

Got an email to schedule screen interview. It was a 30mins call where i spoke with a team member about my resume and skills followed by 2 behavioral questions.
Then i got email from 2 different hr persons, one setting up meeting with HR recruiter and another for the final interviews. Its abit haphazard process since they were based in scotland. I had short call with HR where they briefed me about the interview process and Amazon principles. But by then i already knew what the process was like since i had the interview. I was told not to repeat an example which was challenging.
I had 4 interviews scheduled for the final round, 2 on one day and another 2 on the other day. They were all behavioral based. Unfortunately i didnt have an example for all the situations they asked me about.
I got a call back from recruiter in a few days to let me know i didn't make it through, they don't give feedback as part of their policy, but he mentioned that they didn't get enough info from my examples to be able to make a decision. I appreciated a call back because most don't even bother sending a rejection email.
No need to prepare for examples for all leadership principles, but try to guess which would be related to your role. Mine were mostly around challenging status quo, innovation, using data to convince.
