I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2012
Interview
I applied for an internship on Amazon's website. A few weeks later I received an email asking to schedule a phone interview with blocks of times. I replied to it and later received an email indicating the times of 2 45-minute interviews. Both interviews were very similar. The interviewers told me about the company and why they liked working there. I was able to ask them some questions to see how they felt about Amazon. For the technical portions, they would ask the question and I would repeat it back to them to ensure that I understood it. Most of the questions were based off the ones from this website. I was allowed to put the phone down and then type out the answer to the question on a PC using an IDE which made things a lot easier compared to coding it on paper. When I was done coding I sent the code to the interviewer who would review it with me and have me walk them through my thought processes. They would suggest ideas for improvement and seemed very helpful.

Question 1
Revealing the questions asked is a violation of the NDA as someone has already posted. But if you know the questions asked on this website you should do pretty well in the interview.
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

Question 1
What is customer obsession and how do you apply it
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.
