I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Herndon, VA)
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter about an open Cloud Support Engineer position at Amazon (technically, AWS in Herndon, VA). I was told from the outset that it would be an intense interview process, consisting of 4-6 phone interviews, followed by at least 2 in-person interviews. I made it past the first phone interview, answering most of the questions the interviewer asked. I wasn't thrilled with how it went, so was a bit surprised when the call came to schedule the second phone interview. That interview (I felt) went better than the first, but when I got the follow-up call, I was told that they decided to pursue a different candidate. Overall it was a very professional process and I have no complaints about it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Not overly difficult, but the recruiter asked about managing WAN links, which is where my skills fell short of their requirements (I think).
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

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
