I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2013
Interview
I was contacted by Amazon recruiter via LinkedIn for an open position in their transportation department. It took them two months (or maybe more) to schedule two phone interviews, and after that they invited me to their Seattle headquarters for the on-site interview. The on-site interview consisted of five interviews including an interview over lunch with a manager. I was interviewed by three engineers, the hiring manager, and the director.

Question 1
None. They were all easy. Standard algorithm and coding questions.
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 (Sídney)
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.
