I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Amazon (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2021
Interview
- Online Assessment.
- Phone Screen
- 2 Levels of Interview Loop.
1st is Amazon Leadership Principles. Use the STAR Method
2nd is Technical Interview. Make sure that you have advance knowledge in networking. The baseline is, your skills and knowledge must be better that current Engineers at Amazon.
They ask a lot of technical trivia questions that have nothing to do with the job. They like hearing stories about how you raised the bar and/or made your prior job better. Be familiar with the STAR method.
Panel interview with 4 people. One hour with each interviewer who will ask 2 to 4 questions based on leadership principles related to the job role you are applying for.
first starts with a phone screening.
then if they pass you on you would meet with three individuals for about an hour each. Some of them might be in the area you are applying others might just be a manager from a different ORG.
