Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 2 days)
Consisted of four 45-minute interviews on campus. When I passed the first interview, I was notified about 10 hours later with my schedule for next three interviews. Each interviewer tried to ask two questions. The questions were purely technical. Very useful to know your algorithms and data structures extremely well.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Seattle, WA (took a day)
The recruiter from Amazon sent me an email saying that somebody has identified me as a potential candidate. The phone interview took 50 mins. Only one question, given a listed list and an integer, find two numbers in the list that sum to the given number; I was asked to code and also give the test cases. The question was straight forward, but the interviewer asked me to tell him the code exactly word by word (character by character). This took a lot of time. In the end, he asked if I have any questions. That's it.
