I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2012
Interview
Had 2 phone interviews. For the first interview I got some common questions and then a technical question: print all permutations of a string. The interviewer was nice and patient, giving hints along way. The phone conversation ends after 1 hour but I continue to work on that and send him my complete answer later. The second interview consists many technical questions and I did not so good.
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.

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.
