I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Budapest) in Nov 2015
Interview
Here are their official description of the recruitment process steps:
Telephone Interview (Technical) 30Min
Telephone Interview (Competency/Technical Based) 1.5hours

I'm currently prepering myself for the second round. I get some materials for review, mostly contains information about the company, its services and most importantly their Leadership principles. I'm not really familiar with it honestly and it's so tireing so I'm still hesitating how to proceed. Old dogs don't do new tricks, you know...
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic Windows questions like DNS, Active Directory, Group Policy, workgroups, Kerberos, NTLM and so on. Then we switched to network, IP address structure, NAT, TCP headers 3-way handshake and the like,expect very basic things in very deep detail.
It was a 4 round loop. The first two rounds focused on networking and troubleshooting, plus questions about your domain. The last two rounds are just answering questions using leadership principles in STAR format.
The interview was smooth. Recruiter reached out with an invitation to an online assessment, then a phone interview 1 hour and interview loop scheduled after that. It had 4 rounds
