J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Dublin, Dublin) en oct. 2014
Entretien
Contacted by a in house recruiter for Cloud support Engineer role. Started with two phone interviews, 1 hour each, one with a Support Engineer and one with a Network Engineer.
First Engineer mainly asked questions about Linux tools, filesystem, kernel and system administration/troubleshooting, while during the second I have been asked network related questions about TCP/IP stack, HTTP, routing and troubleshooting.
After second interview I was invited for an on-site interview in Dublin: 5 interviews (1 hour each) with 5 five different people, 3 technical/role based and 2 based on past experiences and team/culture fit.
All communication was done by email and both recruiter and interviewers were very helpful.
Large companies like Amazon also want to test the limits of your knowledge and your thought process so keep calm and take your time before giving an answer.
Two days after on-site, recruiter called me with an offer.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Nothing unexpected: typical Linux and Network administration and troubleshooting questions. If you are invited on-site be sure you also review their leadership principles and be prepared to discuss them with some strong examples for each.
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.
