I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Hyderabad) in Oct 2014
Interview
There was a written test followed by an online test followed by 3-4 interviews. The interviews were in Hyderabad, while the tests were on campus. They first sent a wrong list of students who qualified the exam and then after those students went to that city they told them it was the wrong list. Those poor students came back and then the right list was called for interviews.

Question 1
Write a doubly-linked list for performing particular operation.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2012
Interview
2 rounds of phone screens (mostly technical questions). Then onsite with 5 45-minute sessions. Each session is one on one (or with shadow), mostly doing whiteboard coding. One of them should be "bar-raiser" interview, but I can hardly tell which one it is. Lunch discussion does not talk about technical stuff, but can still be a hiring manager interview (mostly behavioral questions). Recruiter coordinated everything, can be slow and I had to probe them for status update.

Interview
The first round was an online test where they asked basic programming questions.
The second round was a phone screen where they asked one technical question, and multiple behavioral questions. They generally do not seem to ask recursion based questions. They also seem to prefer linked list questions
