I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2011
Interview
Two Phone Interviews, followed by 7 on-site interviews.
From the initial interview, it took about a week and a half to schedule the second one, and another two weeks for them to invite me on-site. Due to conflicts on scheduling it took another month until I travelled.
Overall they were organized, and always responded emails within a couple of business days.

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.
