I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublin, Dublin) in Nov 2010
Interview
Interviewed by phone(1 hr) and then 1hr coding test.
Phone interview went through topics such as OO techniques, conceptual design of a oo system(e.g filesystem), data structures (linkedlist, hashtables), write a factorial function, tcp/ip questions, scripting questions. In general quite an in depth interview. For the coding test i was asked to implement a single linked list iteratively and recursively - write unit tests aswell. Again quite a difficult question.

Question 1
coding test - write a linked list in any language - iterative and recursive.
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).
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.
