I ran through 2 phone interviews, was referred to a different department, then had a third interview. I was brought on site for 5 in person interviews. All but one of the interviews was technical, while the non technical interview focused on personality and problem solving in a technical context.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in May 2015
Interview
I got a call from a recruiter, who gave me a 45 minute informal interview on the phone. Within a week, I went to an in person interview in NYC (4 back-to-back interviews), and within a week after that, I had an offer! I interviewed with 3 teams and got offers for 2 of them. My only real complaint was that I had so little time between the first recruiter call and the interview, I only had a day to prepare.
