I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2012
Interview
Got two technical phone interviews. All 45 minutes long but on separate days. The first interview asked about basic data structures and a question that is finding pairs in an array of integers, such that the two numbers in the pair sum to a fixed number. Then the second phone interview asked similar thing, but about tree. The first question is really easy, which is merging two sorted arrays into one array. The second question is to check if a binary tree is a binary search tree. Then I stopped at this step without going to onsite.

Question 1
I expect them to ask me OO design but they didn't.
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 applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sídney)
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.
