Amish used to work for Amazon - he actually got a lot of resumes from ATOT'ers here and submitted them to Amazon for various job postings. I made it through and got flown up to Seattle for the interview. The hotel they're putting you up in is very posh and nice...I was impressed. There's a good bar downstairs or next door with some excellent beer.
Dress down - they said dress comfortably - it's a super casual atmosphere. You'll go through an entire day gauntlet of interviews with about 6-8 different people from various departments. Be calm, answer truthfully, and if they ask you reasoning questions, think aloud about how you're approaching the problem. It doesn't help them gauge you much if you stare at a piece of paper and write crap down for 5 minutes and say "The answer is BLAH". Definitely have questions you ask to every interviewer.
I didn't get the job but it was a great experience...had one other full day interview with another company since. It really was helpful.

about dressing casually:
I had an interview with Savvis.
I sat out in the waiting room with about 5 other candidates. They were all in suits and ties.
I was in casual khaki pants, an abercrombie polo shirt, leather SANDLES, and a decent belt. I had my earrings in.
I got the job. The other guys didnt.

I've been bugging people about what team they're interviewing with for a reason....and they still aren't answering!
