Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. El proceso tomó 2 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Cape Town) en mar 2016

There are three steps basically, a web test for basic knowledge, then a Phone Screen where you are assessed for technical skills and against leadership principles amazon follows and finally there is a on site interview which is usually the entire morning and where you speak with around 5 people.

On the Technical side they asked about networking, Linux, How to solve problems, DNS, how the internet Works and about deployments strategies for systems.
On the soft skills / leadership principles they asked to tell about a time I did something wrong and how I corrected it, about a time when I improved the efficiency of the process used in the company, about when I did something good. All those questions tie with the leadership principles.
It was a 4 round loop. The first two rounds focused on networking and troubleshooting, plus questions about your domain. The last two rounds are just answering questions using leadership principles in STAR format.
The interview was smooth. Recruiter reached out with an invitation to an online assessment, then a phone interview 1 hour and interview loop scheduled after that. It had 4 rounds
