I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon in Oct 2011
Interview
I got a call through my college's career site. Initially there was one screening round followed by 3 other rounds. All were 1:1's. Questions were standard ones, mostly to write code/pseudo-code rather than answer some bizarre questions based on useless language features. My first three interviewers were helpful/friendly except for one guy.

Question 1
Describe human cell as class. What functions would you include?
Interview by recuriter, Phone interview over Chime with one easy Leet code problem and 2 behavioral questions. Although the interviewer was very casual at the start of the conversation, it quickly changed into behavioral questions at the start.

Question 1
Encoding optimization algorithm and talk about a project you did recently.
First round is just leet code coding which screens through AI before going into live coding. Pretty simple and straighforward. Not too tough. Recruiter walks through it pretty nicely. Not sure how many rounds there are exactly
After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
