I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2013
Interview
2 back to back phone interviews: asked to implement a queue, asked about quick sort, iterator, stl, sorting an array and knowledge about c++. Nothing difficult. The interviewer goes straightly to technical questions. Both are friendly and helpful. First used Collabedit to write code online, second required to dictate code through phone.

I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Hackerrank round first and then two LC questions as the final round (BFS/DFS medium). Also had a behaviour component, testing the leadership principles and how my experiences aligned with them.
Expect one behavioral LP question followed by a leetcode medium or hard for two rounds. Be prepared to answer in depth on the behavioral questions and review LeetCode’s list of questions from Amazon.
