I applied through a recruiter. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2016
Interview
Two recruiter phone screens followed by a hiring team member phone screen. I was then invited to go onsite to Seattle to interview with the team. The week prior to the onsite interview, a recruiter called to prep me for the interview.
The on site hiring team was comprised of relatively new hires (< 3 years) at Amazon. In my opinion, they brought in over qualified and highly experienced (Senior Director level) product management professionals with a top 10 or top 15 MBA degree from other (non e-commerce) tech backgrounds to fill a relatively junior level position (Sr. Product Manager) at the Amazon Global Store

It had 6 rounds- heavily focussed on leadership principles. they really do cross question almost every other example.......... You get multiple interviewers across the organisation. I thought- the questions were repetitive after one point.
