I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublin, Dublin)
Interview
They are very selective, the interviews lasted about 45 minutes each, the first one was very technical and theoretical, while the second was divided in two parts: the first was technical and the second one was about my working experiences. It was hard, but a very positive experience, even if I didn't make it
Contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn I've sent my resume and was invited to a phone interview. The process is the same as described by other with 2 phone interviews and then a face to face on site. First interview 30 to 40 min. Second from 1h to 1,5h both technical covering basics of networking and Windows or Linux depending on the position you're applying. I passed the first interview but didn't continue due to some personal issues. The third interview will last a day at an Amazon office covering both tech and behavior. That was described on the process.

Interview
The interview for Cloud Support Engineer at Amazon started with phone interviews. I went through 3 different interviews, all very technical, with just a few simple personality questions. The technical questions were around subjects related to networking: DNS, BGP, IP, HTTP and other. Questions were not tricky, and if you have general good knowledge of the protocols, then it shouldn't be hard. In my case, my knowledge was not that vast, and I didn't answer a few questions, just told an interviewer that I did not know the answer. Nevertheless, I was invited for additional interviews, and they were also of the same format, and questions were around networking too. After all the phone interviews (I think I had 2 or 3 total), I got an invitation for on-site interview in Texas. At that point, I declined the invitation since I got a different offer. Overall, if you have knowledge, I think interviewing (at least phone interviews) for entry-level positions is not difficult.
