I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2012
Interview
I was contracted by the recruiter. Then I got 2 phone interviews. Basic questions about data structure and algorithms. Then I get a on-site interview of meeting 7 people in five rounds. They asked the data structure and design problems. All interviews are very nice and helpful in guiding you to the right track.

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.
