I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2011
Interview
I actually had two phone interviews. The interviewers weren't rude, just completely impersonal. I began to question what they actually knew themselves. Questions such as writing a method to print out a number of indeterminate size by printing each digit from left to right, how to traverse a balanced tree. I thought my first interview was horrible, but got a second call. Thought my second interview was good, never heard back. Just as well, as I haven't read any positives about working there.

How would you test if a binary tree were symmetrical and balanced.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney)
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.
