I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Chennai) in Apr 2016
Interview
Will start of with phone screening/written test. This is followed by consecutive rounds of problem solving/coding, scripting, managerial rounds.
Had two attempts in 6 months gap. On both the occasions went on to third/fourth round and missed out on a question which I did cracked in few minutes while at waiting hall. It wasn't that difficult either. Its all about holding your nerve. Questions mostly inclined towards Data structures and Data handling.All the best.

I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Two telephonic interviews. there is a long delay for calling to onsite interview. almost one month to get back from HR on the second round of the telephonic interview. Then it took about a month to set the onsite interview due to the Holidays. Onsite was exhausting 6 ppl form 9-3 includes a lunch. Signed a NDA can not give more detail on the question and other information. Telephonic was very technical onsite was both telephonic, scenario based questions and behavioral questions.
The first round was a written round having 2 coding questions and 8 UNIX questions.
Do not give subjective answers as you might not be getting marks for that.
It.you have to be complete answer oriented.
