I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2013
Interview
Made it to the 3rd round interview. First round was a basic HR interview where they inquired about my goals and aspirations. The second round involved actual technical questions, but not too hard. The third round became a lot harder, with questions related more to theoretical concepts. I knew a lot of what they asked but missed out on the more important things they were looking for. Oh and there was an IQ test which was easy.
