I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2012
Interview
I applied online using the official website. After a week or so, I was contacted by a recruiter that wanted to schedule my first phone interview a specific position in Seattle. I did a second phone interview as well. Both the interviews were technical and about algorithms, complexity, object oriented design and general knowledge. Now I am waiting for the on-site interview in Seattle.
The overall process so far worked fine. I am just slightly disappointed about their HR system, which I personally felt pretty chaotic
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design an object oriented system for a deck of cards
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.

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).
2 behavioral 2 coding not very difficult. Behavioral is tell me about a time you took responsibility beyond your role and biggest accomplishment. The process is exactly the guideline they posted for interview.
