I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2011
Interview
I had replied online and got reply back after 3 months. Initial phone interview was simple. I was asked about my resume and 2-3 technical questions (not too difficult). I got another interview after 2 weeks. It was mainly technical and was asked to design using object oriented principles. It was the deal breaker as my the interviewer was not satisfied with my design. In spite of that, I got third interview. It was also mainly technical and went really well. But did not get onsite chance.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2011
Interview
Interview process consisted of two phone interviews. Both were manageable and consisted of basic C and C++ concepts and few simple programming problems. After this was invited on-site to their campus in Seattle. Had 5 rounds of on-site interviews, 2 on either side of a lunch interview which I believe was with a hiring manager. The interviews consisted of a combination of coding and design type questions. A couple of interviews went well and a couple not so well, so net result was a reject. The HR called up the morning after the interview to give me the news, just as I was leaving the hotel for the airport!!
