I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2012
Interview
First I applied online and got a phone interview call which was technical in nature. Questions were related to the job description and they had also mentioned the topics to read for the interview. Once you read sample questions, one wouldnt find the interviews any different. I had three technical, same level phone interviews but wasnt selected for further interviews.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Interview
Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
