I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2009
Interview
The first phone interview is from the hiring manager. He asked me some coding questions, such as finding two integers from an array which sum to a given number, how to store IP addresses. The second phone interview asks a bunch of information retrieval questions.

Question 1
Given an array of integers, find two which sums to a given number
Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney)
Interview
I can't comment much. I submitted an application for the software engineer position, and not even a minute later, I received an auto rejection email from Amazon (never received an online assessment).
2 behavioral 2 coding not very difficult. Behavioral is tell me about a time you took responsibility beyond your role and biggest accomplishment. The process is exactly the guideline they posted for interview.
