I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2012
Interview
Asked a few basic OOPS Concepts like Polymorphism, Inheritance and then a coding question that required to pick out repeated elements from the given integer array. Like [1,1,2,3,2] then the output of the program will be 1, 2. And then had a general talk about the company and work there.
Asked also regarding hash tables and I was not able to work out that part.
Given an array which is not sorted, pick out the elements that are repeated. For example, [1.1,2,3,3] the output should be 1 & 3. Then asked to solve the same for [1,1,2,3,2]
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.

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.
