I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2012

Got this call from a recruiter. Initially 2 rounds of telephonic interviews. Questions were based on DS and Algorithms of average difficulty. After that they called for face to face 1:1 interviews. They arranged the travelling and accommodation. There I had 4 round of 1:1 interviews.

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.
