I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2009
Interview
Gave resume to recruiter during career fair. A month later had an on campus interview; consisted of two 30 minute 1:1 interviews. Since this was an internship interview, the interview consisted of mostly technical questions such as algorithms, coding questions, and data structures questions. One interviewer was very nice, the other was somewhat mean, but I later found out he has a reputation for being a somewhat mean interviewer.

Interview
One online assessment and one virtual interview included a coding round and leadership principle questions; overall, the process was fairly straightforward and not overly challenging for me throughout the experience.
2 rounds:
1st round: 3 behaviorals: Tell me about yourself, tell me about a time you used Gen AI, tell me about a time you faced a problem in one of your experiences
Leetcode similar to LRU Cache but a variant
2nd round: 3 more behaviorals; tell me about yourself, a specific experience in my internship, a time you disagreed with manager/peer on a project

Pretty difficult OA didn't need to get full score. One round technical interview with SDE. Interview was pretty easy, most people I knew at school and friends ended up passing the interview. Took about 1 month to hear back after interview
