The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2012
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiting manager at Amazon who set up the phone interview time and told me who I would be speaking with.
I spoke with the head developer in the group I was applying for. He was very easy to talk to and positive.
As this was a technical position there were questions about how to write SQL code. He wanted the exact code to write down, not just an general explanation of what you would do in the proposed situation. He let me take my time and was very encouraging, which was nice. It was a very pleasant phone interview.

The quality of the questions are really awesome living upto the Amazon Bar.
But ,the Interviewer looks like a bit Prejudiced..He is not trying to understand the candidate.
He was inclined to hear some hi-fi vocabulary than correctly exploring the candidate.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2012
Interview
Applied online. HR Manager contacted for a telephonic interview.
1. First telephonic interview consisted of mainly questions on why you want to shift from existing firm to amazon and were looking for fit. Few case questions on transportation, operational metrics and shipments scheduling. Lasted for around 45-50 mins and after that HR called to confirm for another telephonic interview.
2. Second telephonic interview was with a lady fresh out of college and had been working just for over a month with them. She was inexperienced with interviewing and kept on asking why amazon and why you want to leave you present job - for more than 30 mins and kept on badgering on same point again and again. I don't know when did leaving a job and changing profile became such an issue. Then she asked couple of case questions on logistics and package scheduling. She herself wasnt sure what to ask and kept on babbling majority of time.
No reply and when contacted HR for update their standard negative reply arrived. Its a good idea to have discussion with your would-be peers but juveniles shouldnt be given opportunity to decide someone's career prospects.
