I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2013
Interview
The process was very straightforward as the others have mentioned. The only issue was it seemed they were interviewing me for a position other than the one I was first contacted about. I was asked to solve things on a whiteboard while the interviewers took notes on the laptops. I was not questioned on the skills I have listed on my resume but some general Linux, Scripting, and Networking questions.

Interview
An Amazon recruiter approached if I was interested in this role. As I just wanted to experience their interview process, I said yes. A couple of days later there was a phone screening with 15 minutes of simple technical questions on different areas, namely Linux, Windows, networking and database. She said I answered all well. I was then scheduled for a written 30-minute exam at Amazon a week later. Again the questions were relatively simple technical questions covering 4 areas mentioned above. This was used to gauge our areas of strength.
I passed this and progressed to the third stage of phone screening conducted by an Amazon engineer. The questions were a lot of technical and few scenario questions over 1.5 hours. Once I passed this, I was then asked to attend an half day technical and behavioral question between 5 different interviewers. Each session with the interviewer lasted 45 minutes. There were technical as well as behavioral questions.
