I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2012
Interview
I applied online using the official website. After a week or so, I was contacted by a recruiter that wanted to schedule my first phone interview a specific position in Seattle. I did a second phone interview as well. Both the interviews were technical and about algorithms, complexity, object oriented design and general knowledge. Now I am waiting for the on-site interview in Seattle.
The overall process so far worked fine. I am just slightly disappointed about their HR system, which I personally felt pretty chaotic

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.

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.
