I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2011
Interview
The phone interview was very pleasant and open ended. Was also tested on my skills, so have pen and paper ready to answer technical questions if asked. I was able to ask questions of the interviewer at the end, so have those in place, and the interviewer was very responsive. I am awaiting to hear the outcome.

Interview
Very to-the-point and very technical. Almost no fluffy questions. Algorithms, data structures, but fairly low level ones. Hash tables and BSTs are basically the limit. Nothing related to Dynamic Programming, Divide and Conquer or any algorithms that require even an inch of thought.
