I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Toronto, ON) in Mar 2020
Interview
I applied online, was selected for a phone screen. I spoke to a lovely lady who called in 20 mins later than our allotted time. nonetheless, I did the phone screen tons of behavioural questions. She also prepared me for my phone interview with the hiring manager and told me about some of the questions I may be asked, what leadership principles I should focus on and the STAR method. A week later, I was set up for a phone interview using Chime. I was told the interview will be very technical, and it will be with one person however, there were two interviewers, and none of them worked in the AWS department they were from marketing. I was asked tons of behavioural questions and no technical questions. They reiterated how they prefer the STAR method etc. the phone conversation was 1 hour long with tons of in-depth questions and details on each answer which makes it harder to follow the STAR method.

Interview
Applied first directly on the site. Then there was one interview, another interview, and the final 'Loop' which is 4 (roughly an hour-long) interviews back to back. The process took around 2.5 months in total and provided little feedback throughout.

Interview
STAR format is everything. They care a ton about data. Do research on their leadership principles. The scenario questions they ask will be centered around these principles. Also do research on AWS and the cloud service and what it offers to their clients.
