I applied through other source. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2019
Interview
I interviewed for CSE in Dev-ops area. 2 phones interviews + 4 onsite interviews. The onsite round was 2 technical and 2 leadership principles. You have to have stories for the LPs because it will be difficult for you to make the behavioral part if you don't have enough stories. So take the LPs seriously. Revise the basics of Linux, Networking, Troubleshooting and deployment tools. Be comfortable with Linux boot process, campus networking, web architecture, disk management, automation tool. The LP part is tough. The the onsite interview, it is 4 hours long with small breaks so you better be in one of your best days (unfortunately it was not the case for me. I had to deal with a serious personal issue a few hours before the interview. Don't get me wrong, I didn't say that is why I couldn't make it but I could have performed better in other circumstances).
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.
The interview was smooth. Recruiter reached out with an invitation to an online assessment, then a phone interview 1 hour and interview loop scheduled after that. It had 4 rounds
Interview questions [1]
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
