I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Amazon in July 2016
Interview
The first stage is an online assessment that asks you a few open ended and some close ended based on the role that you applied for e.g I applied for the networking role with windows so the questions were geared more towards that aspect. After this, the next stage is a 1 hour technical phone interview with a cloud support engineer. I'm currently at this stage so can't give any more feedback.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1) When you type amazon.com in your browser what happens?
2) What are the types of routing protocols that we have?
3) What happens when you connect your PC to the network?
4) What is DNS loadbalancing and how does it work?
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
