Initial phone (chime app) interview with HR
Second round interview, I was online at the scheduled time and no one showed up, then after few days emailed me just telling to provide additional availability for interview, without giving any explanation or apologies .
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Silver Spring, MD) in Mar 2021
Interview
It was one on one. Has started with 25 minutes late. I wasn't expecting it and even went back to work. Overall, i appreciated it. Mostly technical questions and a few behaviors questions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is a spanning tree?
What a vlan?
What's the command in Linux to display the content of a file?
What's the command to display your present work directory?
It took 15 days (from the day that I applied) to get the first interview set up with an IT support engineer I at a different location than I was applying for. The first interview lasted 30 minutes and consisted of several tech questions based on Linux, Networking and Windows. I was also asked two behavioral-type questions (Tell me a time when...) and I answered using the STAR method.
I am now waiting to schedule the final virtual interview, which can take up to 8 weeks to schedule according to the recruiter setting it up. I hope to do well and be given an offer. (I will update if I do or do not and which questions are asked).
