I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX) in Jan 2017
Interview
I applied online, I was emailed with a link to an online (non-coding) assessment, that was very logic and pattern matching based. After I completed that I received another email with a coding challenge and "personality test". I must have done well because around a week later I received an email with an offer.
This experience was ultimately what lead me to choose another offer. I had no contact with a human until the offer. The coding challenge wasn't very hard and the personality quiz was horrible, I don't know how they gain any information about anyone through it. I didn't want to take an internship, where I hope to be mentored, at a company who doesn't even take the time to use humans to recruit. For all they knew I could've been a robot.

Question 1
The coding interview was about 5 different smaller problems. One of them was finding the center node in a linked list, the others we're a bit harder but similar in length of solutions.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2017
Interview
The interview was very straightforward and surprisingly fast (less than two hours) for the internship position. I answered some questions for two interviewers (separately) on mostly technical questions. The hiring decision was made really fast and I have a wonderful recruiter who is very responsive to questions via email.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Applied online, didn't hear back for a while until I met a recruiter at a career fair who passed along my information. First screen was a coding challenge that had a mix of programming questions and logical questions. Then heard back in 1-2 weeks about setting up a phone interview, and I believe that round also went all right. Wasn't insanely hard, but wasn't super easy either, since I only got through one question during the 45 minute phone call.
