I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2012
Interview
I had three phone rounds of coding questions. Medium toughness. Checked basic algorithms and data structures. First two rounds, I read out the code I wrote on paper. Last round was on line coding.
Four interviews on site one after another. Coding on white board.

Question 1
Find the longest palindrome in a file of a very large size.
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)

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.
