Application I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY). Interview 2 Phone Screens and One onsite interview.Interviewers are not expecting straight forward answers .They need you to explain the theories from bottom to top. They keep asking you questions from a section until the point you can't answer anymore . When you stuck they do change the topic and ask questions in different topic and continue to deep. None of the questions are asked from vendor commands or configuration based and interview will be lasted for 1 hour . Hope anyone will take a advantage of this .
