Application
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2020
Interview
I got contacted by a recruiter who explained the process, team, potential compensation, etc. I had a phone screen later that week with a few easy SQL questions. I was then passed off to another recruiter to talk about the full loop.
The full loop was all behavioral until the last one, which was another SQL interview by a BIE. The first interviewer asked a bunch about paralellism which I didn't have experience in. Most people were friendly but it was fairly repetitive.
I got a call back saying they liked me for Amazon but they filled that position with someone else. They asked if I wanted to do an accelerated process with a different group and I said yes. Then I never heard from either of the original recruiters again. Since then I've been pinged by 4 different recruiters who have also ghosted me as soon as I reply. There seems to be no internal communication whatsoever.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
SQL question about aggregating a running total of the week's sales by business group.
Very difficult process it took me a round 1 month to get back what’s the review for the interview so I think overall it’s bad experience and difficult interview process while it has lot of questions I wa able to answer
Standard three-round process consisting of an online assessment followed by a comprehensive interview loop, where candidates were evaluated across technical skills, problem solving ability, and overall fit for the role.
