I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2009
Interview
Overall an excellent experience. First had a technical phone interview lasting about an hour. Then was flown in for a day of onsite interviews and put up in great accommodations. Interviewers were all friendly, highly technical, and questions were all good and leading to good conversations. At the end of the day had a final debrief from a HR person.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Was asked to design a large distributed system on the spot, despite not having relevant experience. But the interviewer did a great job of setting up the problem and we talked through it and worked out a solution. I enjoyed it.
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.

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.
