The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2011
Interview
The recruiter from Amazon sent me an email saying that somebody has identified me as a potential candidate. The phone interview took 50 mins. Only one question, given a listed list and an integer, find two numbers in the list that sum to the given number; I was asked to code and also give the test cases. The question was straight forward, but the interviewer asked me to tell him the code exactly word by word (character by character). This took a lot of time. In the end, he asked if I have any questions. That's it.

Applied online via the company careers page. Received a reply from HR within a few weeks inviting me to an initial
screening call over Teams. Process also included an online coding assessment sent as a pre-interview step.
Communication from HR was professional, prompt, and friendly throughout the scheduling stage.
