I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2010
Interview
45 minute phone screen describing related work experience. On-site interview consisted of five 45-minute interviews with a deep technical focus. Many coding and problem-solving questions were given. Difficulty increased to a fairly high level.
Areas included testing practices and testing experience, programming questions such as finding compiler errors, algorithm questions such as using hash tables, and design questions regarding client/server communication.

Question 1
Design a client/server messaging protocol to facilitate a web-based spreadsheet program. What would the object model look like on the client side?
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.
