I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Luxemburg) in Aug 2016
Interview
After waiting for 3 weeks to find time that suits both the candidate and the interviewer from the team you have applied for, they will call you and apologize for the delay, have some small talk on how you are doing. Then they expect you to know the leadership principles (aka the Amazon Bible) and give examples on how you've proven those in your previous experience. They will "dive deep" and ask questions based on your answers.
Of successful, you will have a second identical call with a second team member.

I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2016
Interview
The recruiter didn't call me until the day before my interview. She told me that the role I'd applied to had been filled, so instead I would be interviewing with two additional teams.
The day after my interview, she reached out with an offer from one of those teams and we exchanged emails a few times after. But then she completely dropped off the face of the earth! Most unprofessional interview process I've ever experienced.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2016
