I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2011
Interview
I received two pretty tough technical interviews with two separate developers. About a week later I got notified I had a third interview with a Senior Manager. Another week later I got notified.
Overall the people were very nice and provided a few hints on the problems. They kept stressing on optimizing my solutions and determining what the time complexity was for each solution.
