The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2011
Interview
The first interview was a written interview where the recruiter asked basic questions. The second interview was with HR as a screening interview to get to know my background. The third interview was technical and harder than I expected. He first asked me some basic object oriented coding questions, then asked me how I would solve a problem and finally asked me to write the code on paper and read it back to him line by line.
The interviewer was looking for a very specific method, not just the right code that meets the requirements.

It was a 2-3 round process, depending on how your interview went, with increasingly hard DSA questions followed by some HR and behavioural questions. First round was mostly easy and medium leetcode, followed by medium and hard questions in the second round and above on more complex topics.
