I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Hyderābād) in Jan 2016
Interview
Got a call from an HR who worked with Amazon- they had apparently found my CV in a job portal and were interested. After three telephonic rounds, they invited me over to Hyderabad for a set of "onsite" rounds. Once those were over, three further rounds followed. I was interviewed by the hiring manager twice (once onsite), and by several other stakeholders across Operations, HR and across different management levels.
They made an offer the day after my last interview. The entire process took 1.5 months to complete.

90% questions were about the Amazon leadership principles. They really want to know for sure if you're going to be a good cultural fit.
The other 10% questions involved puzzles, live data analysis and insight generation, and so on. The questions were the most interesting ones I've ever come across in interviews.
