Process was as follows: - Applied online - Amazon contacted me for an on-site exam - After exam was given a take-home exercise - After submitting exercise, contacted 1-2 weeks later for on-site interviews - After on-site interviews, emailed about a background check - Call the next day with a verbal offer The on-site exam was difficult - questions on networking, databases, programming/scripting, linux, windows. The take-home exercise was fun, and required a lot of research and creative thinking about Amazon products. We had two days to complete the report (which had to be approx 2 - 3 pages in length). The on-site interviews were TOUGH, but everyone was so nice and I fell in love with the office and people just being there only a couple of hours. Some examples of exam questions: - Reverse DNS - 3-way handshake - What is NULL (SQL) On-site details: - 1 behavioral interview, 1 technical interview, 1 interview with both - Behavioral: Tell us about yourself, tell us a time you went above and beyond for a customer, what is your biggest failure in life, tell us about a time you took a calculated risk - Technical: They will only ask you strong points from your exam. For me that was databases, so writing queries, etc. - I was also asked to explain my answer from the take-home exercise.

1 onsite test, 1 take home assignment, 1 onsite interview with 3x People. Onsite test covers 5 areas, Windows, Linux, Database, Scripting, and Networking. Take home assignment involved a customer scenario and designing them a solution from Amazon products. Interview covered your personality, and your skills as shown from the onsite test. They take into account that you most likely won't be strong at all 5 areas.
