I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Auckland, Auckland)
Interview
The interview process was well-structured and professional. It started with an online application and initial screening, followed by technical and behavioral interviews. The questions focused on basic cloud concepts, networking, troubleshooting scenarios, and customer-focused situations. The interviewers were friendly and explained the next steps clearly. Overall, the process was fair and gave a good sense of what the Cloud Support Engineer role involves.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services
Interview
It was a good process, from the start everyone very friendly and all transparent. It's a long process in which a lot of interviews are taken, so if you're going to take a process with Amazon, you have to be aware of that.
