I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Oct 2010
Interview
Applied online for a software engineer position for new college graduates. Emailed a few recruiters using Linkedin to get my resume noticed. Received an email to setup a time and date for a phone interview. Phone interview was 45 minutes long, all technical. I will admit that this was my first technical phone interview, so my nerves got the best of me and I didn't answer the questions well. I was expecting conceptual questions instead I got coding questions. My interviewer was talking on a speakerphone and I had some trouble hearing/understanding him which didn't help.
First question was something like, "Write a function that takes an integer and prints out the digits separated by commas. Example input 345, print out 3,4,5 "
Second question was basically write the merge sort function and apply it to two arrays.
Like I said before, this was my first technical phone interview so I was trying to figure out how to answer the questions over the phone. I described the method I would use to solve each problem, but he wanted me to tell him the actual code. Didn't go so well, and I didn't get an offer.

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.

It was a 2-3 round process, depending on how your interview went, with increasingly hard DSA questions followed by some HR and behavioural questions. First round was mostly easy and medium leetcode, followed by medium and hard questions in the second round and above on more complex topics.
