I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2011
Interview
Got contacted by a recruiter and after a call with her I got 2 phone interviews scheduled. Each were about 45 minutes long. A few days after the second interview a on-site interview was scheduled. I met with about 7 people from the team, each for 45 minutes. I got the final answer just 24 hours after that, with no reason whatsoever, which is a little disappointing after 4 weeks of interview process. But the whole thing was well organized and interesting.

Question 1
How do you measure success of the [Cloud Drive] product of Amazon?
It had 6 rounds- heavily focussed on leadership principles. they really do cross question almost every other example.......... You get multiple interviewers across the organisation. I thought- the questions were repetitive after one point.
