I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2011
Interview
I had 2 phone screens, which were quite pleasant. In both they asked a few general programming knowledge questions, then a "write some code". The code was simple, atoi() function and tree ordering. Each phone screen was very laid back, took about an hour.
The physical interview was grueling. Not necessarily the questions, they were fairly standard programming questions, but the length of the interview. I was assigned to interview with 2 teams at once so I was there for 7.5 hours all totaled.

Question 1
There was a question that was a Dutch National Flag problem. It is essentially about grouping colors, however he used integers, positive, negate, and zero to do the same thing.

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.

It was a 2-3 round process, depending on how your interview went, with increasingly hard DSA questions followed by some HR and behavioural questions. First round was mostly easy and medium leetcode, followed by medium and hard questions in the second round and above on more complex topics.
