Amazon IT Support Engineer interview questions

I had a tech screening/phone interview that lasted more than an hour, then a second phone interview that focused on culture and customer service. After those I was offered an opportunity to fly to California for an in-person interview. The in-person interview was a day-long affair and I met with five different people (Though one was via video conference.) I was there from 10-3. They arranged my air travel and hotel and gave me a per diem for food and transportation. The interview questions focused around the Amazon Leadership Principles and many of the questions seemed to be re-worded versions of the same question to get at the principle assignment of that particular interviewer. Everyone I met was very friendly and most seemed enthusiastic about working there. One was a bit more lackluster and admitted that the benefits weren't great and there was no provided lunch every day and no on-site gym. (Which I guess is more the norm in Silicon Valley, but not as much in the rest of the country. The job I was applying for was not in California so I didn't expect those perks.) Overall it was intense to interview with five people over the course of 5 hours, but once I was doing it, it didn't seem as overwhelming.

First contact by phone, then 4 hours interview on site with 4 different people. It may sounds a little bit scary, but they do anything to make you feel at ease. They were very kind with me. Questions are very experienced related, you need to prepare for the interview with almost 6-7 real work situation you encountered and be ready to provide them all the details. Not many technical questions, but more like psychological interview. I received the offer the day later the interview, but I declined. I don't really know why, because the offer was pretty good compared to other employers in the area. I think I screwed up in the decision process, and I was not really convinced in the type of job. Now I regret the choiche really much, because I realized it was a very big opportunity to speed up my career. Think really carefully about it if you receive the offer, and don't take impulsive decision based on what you've heard about amazon working conditions.
