I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2014
Interview
Two sessions, 45 minutes for each with one interviewer. They ask about my Resume, some basic Computer Science questions and some coding questions. The questions are fairly basic ones, no fancy algorithms or advanced data structures. I chatted with the second interviewer for about 20 minutes before jumping into a coding question. They are friendly and will point you to the right path if you stuck.
HR interview, then I had 1 45 minute coding round with 10 minutes behavioral and 35 minutes coding. Behavioral round was typical star format questions probing at leadership principles. Ex. Tell me about a time you took initiative and it didn’t work out.
