The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2008
Interview
Phone screen by recruiter who read from a script. A few days later got a call from the hiring manager. She was not sure exactly what she wanted, and talked about a number of different things. Invited in for onsite interviews. The first two guys were late and bored. I did not like it so i excused myself and left before lunch.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2024
Interview
Tough but fair series of interviews. Definately what I would expect at this level. Seven interviews with different parts of the team as well as the bar raiser who definately raised the bar. Questions went beyond the role itself to more leadership type questions.
