I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2010
Interview
The recruting process was negative as it mis-matched my application vs position&interview. The second phone interivew was informed after more than a month after the 1st interview.
The interviewers were both late (one is late for 5 min, and the second late for 20 min). the interview itself is not difficult. One is around resume and relevent expereince and the other is technical interivew.
Interview focused on analytical thinking and case studies. Main focus was on the leadership principles. First interview was a phone interview that covered a few basic questions and SQL coding. The loop had 4 rounds.

Question 1
What is the difference between inner and left join?
The interview process was smooth and conversational. The interviewer was calmly asking questions about my previous work experiences and listened patiently. He even gave me ample time to frame my answers.
