I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2012
Interview
S/W Engineer position.
3 times phone interview, 1 hour each.
one full day on-site interview.
It was most difficult technical interview I ever had. Even tougher than Google.
I'm even told, here is a problem that 9 out of 10 interviewee fail to solve.
I was asked to write a code for 10 of those level difficulty questions.
Other Software Engineer Interview Reviews for Amazon
Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney)

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.
