Interview
I had three phone interviews with Amazon that spanned from late September to late October. The questions were not hard but like other postings have already said doing it over the phone made it somewhat difficult. I was never asked any conceptual questions in any of the interviews rather each interview was one or two problems to be solved. Overall every interview I had was pleasant the interviewer would drop hints to lead you in the right direction or ask if this was the best solution.
From the delay after the third interview I figured the interview process was not going to go further but three weeks seemed like a while to send out a rejection letter. There was a good week or two between each phone interview so it would seem Amazon was doing a lot of interviewing during this period.

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.

Question 1
tell me about a time you took responsibility beyond your role
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.
