I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX) in Feb 2015
Interview
The interview was done over the phone. Was first approached by a recruiter who then helped setup the initial phone interview a week later. I called in and started the interview by provided my work history. The phone interview was difficult as it was hard to understand the interviewer due to his heavy accent and a static sound on the call. Had to ask him to repeat a few of his questions multiple times and I had to remark I didn't know to a few of them since I could tell he was getting frustrating with my request to repeat. it ended with pleasantries after an hour and was informed I would be contacted if they wished to move forward with the process.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Started by discussing my work history and then mostly technical questions regarding Windows, Network connections, and ended with Linux. Most of the window questions are regarding setting up computers to a network and active directory as well as basic command prompt commands. Network is all Cisco. You need to know your OSI Layers, Multiple network protocols, vlan, and how to setup a cisco switch. Finally I was asked terminal commands for Linux and various troubleshooting commands.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Typical easy tech phone screen. Horrible face to face experience with one of the interviewers. Recruiters were unresponsive before and after the interview. Didn't want the job after I left.
