I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2010
Interview
Applied online through the Amazon.com college recruit link, after about a month a recruiter contacted me, and set up a phone interview after few days.
When the guy called me he was very nice, and after the first few general questions ( I.E Why Amazon? ), he went into the technical questions, about OOP and basic Data Structures.
He asked one thinking question:
What is the best way to find out which number from 1 to 52 is missing from a 51 number array
after a day i got a rejection from the recruiter

It was a 2-3 round process, depending on how your interview went, with increasingly hard DSA questions followed by some HR and behavioural questions. First round was mostly easy and medium leetcode, followed by medium and hard questions in the second round and above on more complex topics.
