The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2012
Interview
It was a recruitment day. There were 4 1:1 technical interviews. Basic algorithm questions - circular linked list, anagrams, evaluating arithmetic expression and flattening a tree and writing to a file. They were pretty simple and straight forward. The interviewers try to help you out with the answers. Did a couple of rounds very well, and a couple went ok, which I guess is the reason for rejection.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
At least one question involving a hash table. Amazon is famous for asking questions about hash tables. Either they ask about the hash table constructs in various programming languages (like Java and Perl, hash vs. map, etc..), or a coding problem where the hash table affords an O(N) or O(1) solution.
