I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2011
Interview
The interview process consisted of two phone interviews. The first interviewer was very enthusiastic and asked a few technical questions as well as questions about my background. After that was over he told me some things about himself and allowed me to ask questions. The second interviewer didn't really seem to be interested and just asked a single technical question.

Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney)
Interview
I can't comment much. I submitted an application for the software engineer position, and not even a minute later, I received an auto rejection email from Amazon (never received an online assessment).
