I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney)
Interview
Two round of interview. One phone screening and second on site interview which is of 4 rounds, 45 minutes each (two technical and two Leadership interviews). Phone screening was OK not a difficult one and will test the basics. Not a single question from any of the AWS services but mostly from troubleshooting issues on a large scale.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2020
Interview
Interview Process is long but very smooth. Initially I received an assessment test. After submitting that I received phone interview which was placed after 1 week from assessment test. Phone interview was around 45 mins. Interviewer asked me about my current role, basic networking and linux questions. Prepare tcp/ip, basic linux commands and try to describe your current role as much as possible so interviewer can ask question around that topic. After passing phone interview I got call for on-site interview. 2 technical and 2 behavioral . These interviews are not hard to crack, just try to give answers in star method in behavioral round. come up with some convincing answers. For technical they will cover tcp/ip, NAT, routing, Linux boot process, DNS, DHCP, firewall related questions. Just clear your basic knowledge about networking and linux. I was going for deployment role so they asked more question related to devops , aws , cicd. Cant disclose all the questions. signed NDA. But try to clear basics of networking, linux and your relative field questions.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Poona) in Jan 2020
Interview
The interview process is excellent. Members from the talent acquisition team got in touch with me and explained the JD in detail. Once done, they sent me a detailed email that included Amazon’s company culture, what is expected from the interviewee and also links to study materials needed to clear the interview.
The first round was a video-conference round on Amazon Chime. If selected, the second round would be a F2F round at Amazon office campus.
