The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2011
Interview
The first interview was a written interview where the recruiter asked basic questions. The second interview was with HR as a screening interview to get to know my background. The third interview was technical and harder than I expected. He first asked me some basic object oriented coding questions, then asked me how I would solve a problem and finally asked me to write the code on paper and read it back to him line by line.
The interviewer was looking for a very specific method, not just the right code that meets the requirements.

They asked me to walk through my previous experience and explain how it related to the responsibilities of the role.
Applied online via the company careers page. Received a reply from HR within a few weeks inviting me to an initial
screening call over Teams. Process also included an online coding assessment sent as a pre-interview step.
Communication from HR was professional, prompt, and friendly throughout the scheduling stage.
