I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2017
Interview
The interview process was superbly structured:
1st round: With Hiring manager for 1 hour. Behavioral Questions (Tell me about a time .... type questions) and SQL questions (Joins, union functions etc).
2nd round : With a Senior BI manager. Pretty much the same structure as 1st.
I was called for onsite interviews which consists of 5 rounds back to back for an hour each.
All of them where behavioral but all the questions were related to atleast one Amazon principle so make sure you tie your answers to them. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART! Your answer HAS to be linked to one principle! At least!
Interviewers seemed really nice an accommodating. The results of the interview process during each of the stages came out pretty quickly.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX)
Interview
The process consisted of a technical and behavioral round. Although the recruiter stated it would cover SQL and behavioral topics, the interview focused entirely on scenario-based and behavioral questions without a live SQL technical assessment. Communication after the interview was poor; the recruiter did not respond to follow-up emails, and an automated rejection notice was sent two days later.

The interview process includes a SQL test, an initial recruiter call, and a final five-round loop featuring technical questions and discussions focused on Amazon leadership principles with different team members.
