I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2011
Interview
There were questions about stacks, sorting large datasets, database organization and more over the course of two phone interviews. I had a hard time getting any info about what position I was actually interviewing for and what the team did. I mentioned a few times that I didn't want to work in Java full time, but nobody would say if that was the case, and I think that may have been a problem in getting past the second phone 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.
