I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2010
Interview
Applied online through the Amazon.com college recruit link, after about a month a recruiter contacted me, and set up a phone interview after few days.
When the guy called me he was very nice, and after the first few general questions ( I.E Why Amazon? ), he went into the technical questions, about OOP and basic Data Structures.
He asked one thinking question:
What is the best way to find out which number from 1 to 52 is missing from a 51 number array
after a day i got a rejection from the recruiter

Interview by recuriter, Phone interview over Chime with one easy Leet code problem and 2 behavioral questions. Although the interviewer was very casual at the start of the conversation, it quickly changed into behavioral questions at the start.

Encoding optimization algorithm and talk about a project you did recently.
First round is just leet code coding which screens through AI before going into live coding. Pretty simple and straighforward. Not too tough. Recruiter walks through it pretty nicely. Not sure how many rounds there are exactly
After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
