I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2010
Interview
I applied online (cover letter + resume) and had a first round interview with a current Amazon software engineer. He was really nice, laid back, and didn't pressure me. He tested me on basic object oriented principles and algorithms without judging my answers. I appreciate the respect with which I was treated even though I wasn't given an offer.

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.
