I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2011
Interview
2 phone interviews and 1 onsite. I have the best interviewing experience with Amazon til this date. Great HR accomodation who also suggests me staying an extra day checking out the area. The interviewers are very smart and respectful. At the end of the interview day, I know I want to work with these folks.

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.
