I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Burnaby, BC) in Oct 2023
Interview
Recruiter Contacted me via LinkedIn, provided the job description and had call with him and discussed the details. After that they short listed my profile for the phone interview. The phone interview round was very bad. The role is very basic one. Candidate have knowledge on windows or MAC operating system as per the job description, but they interviewed for windows, Linux and MAC. They made the interview process scary. Interviewer must give friendly environment but the guy who interviewed me was not that ok. Amazon must change the interview process based on the role. For basic role they are giving $30 cad and expecting Manager Skills from candidate. If company is looking for basic role they should ask questions according to that. He mentioned behavioural and Technical questions but he ended up with only Technical Questions. After 55mins he gave me a chance to ask the questions, I asked about him what is the difficult issue you resolved recently, he took 2mins to think on it and didn’t give proper answer but he was expecting the 100% quality answers from candidates.

Interview
First things they ask me to attend virtual interview using chime and got my resume review after 1month applying the job on Amazon job portal. Later on the interview first thing they I'll goona ask u about introduction. And then they will ask some basic questions which I had prepared for my first interview that was almost 5 years back... And it was mentioned that we will be asked some 7 to 10 questions but this guy asked me around 18. Here are the questions POST Multicast Windows cannot connect to server update error How to update bios on a bitlocker enabled system Firewall types DHCP and DORA Getting Faded prints Ntds error Ntfs and fat32 Partition types How many partition can we create on windows BSOD error Permission Policy Rights Apipa Do we need a default gateway What to do if a shared folder is not accessible How to recover files after virus attack What is OST and PST How to take backup in outlook So from the above questions I didn't answer only two but it's not I said I don't know I gave him what I understood by the name. And it was said that they will give some gap after technical and behavioural rounds. But this gave didn't give me a minute 😅😅. He asked me to take an example from my current company or my past to explain two of Amazon's leadership principals. Overall as per me I did well and I was satisfied with what and how I answered and the two question which I didn't answer, I asked the interviewer that I don't know please explain so I'll learn. And then he started searching for answer and he took few seconds then answered me😂😂😂. And finally today I got a mail stating that, we are not able to process your application further and we cannot explain the reason.. So thats it
