I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2012
Interview
Consisted of interview with the hiring manager (1 day), and then an interview with the Dev Manager (another day). With the Dev Manager, it got pretty technical - he was asking specific coding type questions. With the hiring manager, it was an overview of my past work history and determining what position would be a good fit for me.
