The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2011
Interview
Two phone interviews (Business then technical) asking various general questions about the position. The interviews are spread across two weeks. The interviewers ask a preset list of questions off a sheet of paper. The in person interviews are 45 min per interviewer. They will bring in a person from other departments to interview you and ask a question that has no relevance to your area. They would expect you to be a master or semi-master in all areas. I was asked hash tables, randomization techniques while developing a 3-tier infrastructure. Expect the unexpected. They will try to make you fail.
