J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Sydney) en sept. 2018
Entretien
Very Ineffective interview process. They are looking for Wikipedia of networking not a human.
Having worked in Network Engineering field for more than 15 years, I would never ever recommend anyone to waste the time and accept attending the interview session with Amazon.
Don't get fooled with high salary package the may show you in the beginning, it is not worth the time you spend on preparing yourself for the session. If you look at the Amazon's job pages and be a little smart you will see they keep on advertising same role with different wording of the role topic and Job description.
To me this shows the environment is too much under stress / micromanaged environment, that people keep come in and go out.
The interview session was very difficult, it was almost 30 minutes of torture and I bet if the interviewer was sitting on the other side in a similar situation as me he would not be able to answer the same questions.
They advertise positions for Network Engineering and expect you to know everything like as the same level of the people who invented the technologies. They expect you to know OSPF the way "John T Moy" knows.
I think this is just a "SHOW " for the interviewer to fill up a form and show they have interviewed someone and then they will fill the position with their cousins.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
All in depth and theoretical questions which you may not apply them to your day to day networking life.
In total I interviewed with about 10 people. By far the longest interview process I’ve ever undergone. The first interview was a standard phone screen. The subsequent interviews were more thorough spread across multiple days. On one day I interviewed with up to 6 people.
An online assessment, followed by an hour-long virtual screen, followed by 3 hour-long virtual interviews back-to-back. Almost all questions were behavioral, related to Amazon's Leadership Principles. Rounds were about two weeks apart, contacted very quickly after application.

Long process - 3-6 months. All I can say is that you must be fluent in the Amazon Management Principles as well as knowing the STAR method. This helped tremendously throughout the process.

Question 1
Tell me about a time where you.... etc and then it'll be about one of the management principles. They will also follow up and dig more and more about the STAR responses. So understand what you're saying.
