I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2011
Interview
I had 2 phone interviews with Amazon. The first was by the manager of the group that I would be working for and the second was by a software engineer in the group. Both interviews were great. I found the interviewers gave a great deal of information about Amazon and the position. The rest of the time was spent on talking about my resume. Also, each interviewer gave me a a couple straightforward algorithm/data structure question and an object oriented design question.
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 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.
