I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
The process started with application on Amazon site, followed by online assessment, then a phone interview with the hiring manager. There would have been another round however I got rejected after the phone interview.
Phone interview consisted of SQL Coding (super easy) and behavioral questions related to Amazon’s values. Make sure you give concise answers here because I’m pretty sure I dragged on too long at this point causing the rejection.
Overall, about 2-2.5 hours of time for the above steps, excluding the next round in which I did not get selected for.
Disappointing since the interviewer had nothing but good things to say… but I guess that’s them being polite. Oh well, on to the next one.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What kind of metrics have you used to drive a business decision?
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.
