I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2022
Interview
Applied, then a few weeks later link to assessment on Amazon's own internal platform.
Passed assessment and scheduled loop round (5 total interviews back to back).
Loop consisted of 1 technical interview (more so basic SQL only) and 4 behavioral interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you created a metric for a process improvement.

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.
