I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2020
Interview
Definitely study and memorize the leadership principles. You will never get to an onsite without knowing them and using them as a way to frame your answers. Each interviewer is testing you on one or more of those. The more you can frame your answers using the principles, the better you will be.

Question 1
What measurement system would you create to measure effectiveness of sales? What would you consider? What are you trying to address? Who's your customer?
The interview was standardised, where you had to go through their online assessment --> 3 rounds of interviews. I only passed through the first interview (with HR) so I cannot comment on the rest of the process.

Interview
First, there is an online application.
You submit your resume through the Amazon careers website.
Second, there may be a phone screening.
An HR recruiter will talk with you for about 30 minutes.
They will ask about your experience, sales results, and why you want to join Amazon.
Third, you may have one or two interviews with the hiring manager.
These interviews focus on your sales strategy, leadership skills, and business thinking.
Amazon cares a lot about its Leadership Principles, so you should prepare real examples.
Finally, there is a panel interview.
