I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2022
Interview
Applied directly on the Amazon.job website and was contacted the next day. The recruiter asked a few basic questions and sent me to phone screens.
Phone screen 1: SQL and behavioral questions
Phone screen 2: all behavioral
Got results pretty quickly after both phone screens.
Final interview loop: 5 rounds within one day with breaks in-between. One technical and 4 behavioral.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behavioral questions
E.g. Tell me a time when you disagree with your stakeholders/customers.
SQL quiz
Mostly testing joins, Group by, window functions
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.
