      Systems Infrastructure Engineer Interview

      4 Mar 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2017

      Interview

      A recruiter contacted through Linkedin. A preliminary interview was conducted by the hiring manager. It was behavioural. I was informed that I cleared and selected for the technical round. I was interviewed by a Operations Engineer. The interview went on for more than an hour. I answered every single question correctly. There was a coding problem which I was asked to complete and email back the code. After two days I received an email from the recruiter with the most unbelievable outcome. The email said "The interviewer believes you would be a good fit for a different position possibly so I have sent your resume along to my colleagues that hire for that position. While Amazon does not provide feedback, we enjoyed learning more about you and hope that you had a positive experience."
