I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2010
Interview
I was first contacted by their HR in late October about the possible position in Amazon. I had two phone interviews with them. Both interviewers are friendly. They asked mostly CS and programming related questions as well as the OOD problem. I did well in the phone interviews. After a week, I was informed that they want me to go on-site for a formal interview.
The onsite interview was tough, I've talked to seven interviewers. Each one for one hour. Most interviewers are friendly. Some questions are really tough and open. I know I still have so much to improve interms of my technical skill. After all, I am a fresh graduate trying land my first job. I didn't get the offer as I expected. But I feel I learned a lot.
OA contained 2 coding questions and then followed by a multiple choice question on behavioral where they emphasized a lot on their leadership rules which you can find on their website

Could not use AI during the first interview. The recruiter was helpful in the screener but the coding exam was tough including the take home test. Did a few Leetcode examples but apparently that wasn't enough.
Applied online via the company careers page. Received a reply from HR within a few weeks inviting me to an initial
screening call over Teams. Process also included an online coding assessment sent as a pre-interview step.
Communication from HR was professional, prompt, and friendly throughout the scheduling stage.
