I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublin, Dublin) in Apr 2022
Interview
First Round was phone screening. Couple of leadership principle with past experience and also BGP traffic engineering questions.
next is loop round.There was some questions about platform side like whats the component of switch/memory (not sure why they asked specifications its all in google). I could not answer since i had worked long back on those hardwares
I was super confident about the interview as i answered very well on all networking questions.
Finally got rejected phone call after 5 days. The reason being not strong enough on technical area.
I would have been happy if they had rejected me on compensation/visa reasons. But this rejection cannot digest.
what a waste of time and effort. One thing i got to know is NDE engineers at amazon are not so great as we think and They do not follow their own Leadership principle ; Hire and Develop the Best.

Interview
Review for phone screen only for enterprise position. The interviewer was 5 minutes late. No introduction for either parties, went straight to technical questions. No LP questions at all. The interviewer spoke very fast with a strong accent. I had to ask to repeat questions a few times. My overall impression was that majority questions were randomly taken out of a routing theory book and test you how well you study it. If you are studying for CCNP or CCIE written test, you'll probably pass.

Question 1
Anything about OSPF, route selection process, TCP/IP, RIB vs FIB. Only a couple of BGP questions: how to influence outbound, route reflector.
Smooth Interview Process. The recruiting team is helpful which makes the entire process easy to understand. Preparing for the behavioral round teaches a lot as the leadership principles have deep meaning.
