I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Sep 2010
Interview
They picked my resume from monster.com. I got a mail to schedule a phone interview and they asked me to apply for software development position on their website.
The interview was purely technical. The interviewer asked mostly data structures and algorithms questions; binary search tree, linked lists, complexities of some known algorithms etc. There was one coding question. The interviewer asked to explain how I would go about solving the problem and then gave 1 hour to code and mail it.

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.
