Hello Guys,
I would like to share my interview experience for Amazon CSA interview process which I appeared recently. There were total of two rounds :
12th Feb: Online Assessment ( Networking Basics + Work Simulation )
In order to prepare for networking related question mainly focus on OSI Model, Basic Linux commands for file handling and Network administration tools. Basic communication protocol such as TCP/IP, UDP. Concepts such as DNS records, default gateway etc. IP routing as well as iptable concepts. No need to go in-depth of CCNA concepts, just overview is fine, For work simulation, you have to answer by keeping all the 14 Amazon leadership principles in mind.
27th Feb: Virtual interview round, My interview domains were: 1) Networking 2) Linux
Amazon interview process especially CSA role as it is based on the customer service domain, the interview is all about the behavioural part. I could say it is (60% Behavioural and 40% technical). So do prepare for behavioural more than technical rounds. I am sharing some of the notes that I prepared as well as gathered while studying for CSA.

1st round (Networking+ Behavioural ) :
2nd Round (Purely Behavioural ):
15 minutes break.
3rd Round ( Linux + Behavioural ):
Even if you don't know the commands in details, make sure you have the basics clear about Linux concepts. He even asked me some behavioural question from the standard amazon behavioural question pool.
4th Round ( Purely behavioural with hiring manager ):
In short amazon interview process is pretty smooth and comfortable. Even if it interview process is 4 hours long, the interviewer makes sure that you don't feel tired. It is more like a normal conversation than an actual technical interview. I would highly recommend preparing behavioural more in detail, prepare scenarios well in advance and should be your own (this would help you answer cross-questions regarding your answer you give).
So Prepare well and Go with full confidence !!!
