I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2012
Interview
Since I interviewed for the position the process has changed slightly. Both internal and external candidates go through a 5 - 6 interview loop (within 1 day for external) following a 1 -2 phone screen (external). The interview loop includes a lunch with a potential colleague.
I recommend reviewing Amazon's Leadership Principles before the interview loop, which is available to the public via a link towards the bottom of the career page, and be prepared to respond to questions framed around the principles.
Interview questions [1]

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Aug 2015
Interview
I applied online and received an email about 4 days afterwards stating they wanted to interview me via phone. The interview was real brief, he asked me three questions. He made me feel real comfortable because I was nervous! If you apply make sure you put your interview in your calendar for the correct time zone, my first interview was at 2pm. I thought it would be EDT but it was actually ADT! So just a heads up so you wont have to reschedule like I did.
