This was the first interview for the position, it was on Amazon chime. The duration was 1h, where more or less 50min was the technical interview + 2 question about the amazon principles and the last 10min I could talk with the interviewer about everything I want.

Question 1
What is a service? How can I check the logs of a service? where are they located? How can I check the status of a service? How can I start a service?

Question 1
Depends on the domain of the role. I had Networking domain, so most questions were on Linux and troubleshooting.
It was difficult , questions about os and computer network and one easy coding question , the coding question was prime number question, also asked behavioural questions which are to be answered in STAR format
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Ashburn, VA) in Sep 2025
Interview
There were 4 interview phases. The first one was personality based and generic, the following were all technical with different individuals. It was a standard interview but I’d say you get brownie points for knowing their leadership principles.
