I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublin, Dublin)
Interview
The process was quite slow and it took 3 months. There were two telephone interviews (60 + 120 minutes) mostly technical with three engineers. Be prepared for linux shell and system commands and behavior and a little of networking basics. If you pass both (they are not easy and be sure you are comfortable speaking fluently in English and understanding everything on the phone. Think about a headset for that) then you will be invited to the closest amazon location. Keep the expenses receipts for that, they will refund you later, like your train or flight tickets and/or hotel staying. There were 5 engineers interviews and it last about 5 hours. There are little breaks if you want, but it's really fast fast. It was based around the Amazon principles. Everything was well detailed before by the hr people, even calling you one week before for the preparation to it. 5 people you could LinkedIn one week before. They are absolutely skilled in their sector of activity. It was 1 manager for behavior / action, 1 networking, 1 Linux, 1 architecture, 1 not from the team who was a developer and asked more behavior questions. They try to make you feel comfortable, but the speed does not help.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about one time you did something out of your duties for a client.
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
