I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Dallas, TX) in Feb 2015
Interview
This is an interview on campus, one round in total. Amazon HRs went to our campus to provide two sessions of online assessments, a few people in one room doing the assessments monitored by the HRs. After 10 days of the online assessments, I got the offer. The HRs are very nice and this is a great interview experience overall.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Really the interview process start when you to receive the email "Amazon Application!" maybe from a recruiter, saying "...We are excited to inform you that we are going to move forward with your profile in the interview process!...".
From this point you should planning your agenda for the interview and its preparation.
I recommend at least 3 months unless your have fresh the needed background. The most are college knowledges.
I think in my case the interview was easy but I did not have the enough time to the right preparation.
The interview was about 15 min talking about my resume, with emphasis in questions about my most important and recent project. 40 min for 3 coding problem and 5 min to I ask about Amazon.
