I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2013
Interview
You need to be prepared both technically, verbally and have lots of good examples from your past employments. First part of interview is via phone where recruiter will ask you basic questions and get familiar. Second is also usually via phone but more technical. Third is on site with lots of people asking you lots of questions.
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
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Depends on the domain of the role. I had Networking domain, so most questions were on Linux and troubleshooting.
It was difficult , questions about os and computer network and one easy coding question , the coding question was prime number question, also asked behavioural questions which are to be answered in STAR format
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Ashburn, VA) in Sept 2025
Interview
There were 4 interview phases. The first one was personality based and generic, the following were all technical with different individuals. It was a standard interview but I’d say you get brownie points for knowing their leadership principles.
