I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2011
Interview
There were questions about stacks, sorting large datasets, database organization and more over the course of two phone interviews. I had a hard time getting any info about what position I was actually interviewing for and what the team did. I mentioned a few times that I didn't want to work in Java full time, but nobody would say if that was the case, and I think that may have been a problem in getting past the second phone interview.

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)
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).
