Amazon Cloud Support Engineer interview questions

Interview was good and friendly. Recruiters were friendly enough. Good infrastructure. Travel expense was reimbursed. Online assessment were technical and customer support oriented. On the whole a good onsite experience.

I applied by referral though LinkedIn when one of the recruiters posted that they were looking for Cloud Support Engineers. I went through one Phone Interview and received my result the next day. I was called for an on-site interview that I took two weeks after the phone interview. I was interviewed by 5 people; 3 in a management role and 1 in Analytics and 1 in Networks / OS. It took three days to get my results. I hear that they strive to let you know your results within five days. You may have to go through more phone interviews and perhaps even a written test. One of the guys I interviewed with said that he had to go through three phone interviews; but of course, don't be discouraged if this is you because that guy also got hired. It is the best experience I have had in an interview process. It was very quick, very casual and more of a dialogue with them trying to note how deep you can dive into concepts and how critical you are in your thinking. Amazon Cape Town is also quite diverse; if you have been in the field for a decade or two, expect to be interviewed by talented people younger than you casually dressed in shorts, flops and trying to find out how talented you are and what you can contribute. You may be lucky to be bumped to Cloud Support Engineer II if you have been working for over 5 years.
