Interviewed Nov 2011 in Seattle, WA (took 5 weeks)
Headhunted by in-house recruiter. Had brief conversation and then phone interview with hiring manager within a week. Then another phone interview within a week after that. Then came in for all day interviews with 8 people, 6 1:1 and 1 2:1. Was asked he usual background and project/program management questions. Was also asked when I last coded, what languages and so on. I had to design IT processes, database design etc. Was also asked to design an algorithm for finding the longest palindrome in a string of characters and how I would fix the US economy. People were generally nice but the process was grueling. Easily the hardest series of interviews in 20+ years in IT.
Generally things seemed to go well but a few days later they called to say they weren't moving forward but I got no explanation at all as to why which was unsatisfying after the process.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Seattle, WA (took a day)
I was in Seattle for business so Amazon had me come in instead of doing a phone interview. The interviewer meet me in the lobby of the Amazon building and escorted me to a conference room. The interview went well until he asked me about taking a written software test. I am a senior principal systems engineer that has not coded since 2000. I told the interviewer, I was not a software person and I would not pass a test on writing code. He said the Sr Technical program Manager had to take a software test. and am I saying that I was not qualified for the position. I answered, well, I won't pass a test so I guess I'm not qualified, and the interview ended.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Hyderabad (India) (took 2+ weeks)
Interview process seemed well thought through, but the questions people were asking were not related to the job description at all. I was overall disappointed because for a program management role, they were asking me to write code in C++ and draw UML notations for object diagrams and such. Finally, no proper reason or feedback was given too
