I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2013
Interview
Applied on line. Online assessment first. Three coding problems, 90 minutes in total. The questions are not hard. Two days later got an email to schedule an on-site interview.
The onsite interview questions are not hard. Mainly about graphs and trees. However, I was not well prepared by then.
Overall, the overall experience was good.

Interview
I applied on their website as per usual. Nothing exceptional about my cover letter -- it wasn't personalized at all. I have quite a bit of work experience and was well qualified for the position.
The interviewer himself seemed extremely shy and inexperienced. He was a nice guy, but he didn't do a good job of selling me on the position (even though I knew the position itself was a good one).
