I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC) in Sep 2021
Interview
Contacted by the recruiter.
Took 10 days to prepare
First round was 1 hr of sql. The interviewer was alright. I felt I answered all questions and interviewer seemed in agreement with the solution.
Got the feedback the very next day

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2021
Interview
I applied, the very next day recruiter asked for my availability and then scheduled a phone interview for the very first time slot I provided.
The interviewer was at the car when interviewing me (!) I answered all theory questions with only one where I was not sure; coding session I passed well and... radio silence for more than week when I finally received a no from the recruiter.

generic SQL questions on how to pull data from tables
The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
It is with shame to say that AMAZON lacks basic skill of professionalism. Most disappointing interview experience ever. I wasted 3.5 months interviewing them, a total of 5 interviews with 9 ppl altogether for 1 hr each. Interviewing them and schedule, position availabilities in mid of interview process was another story. Every time I interviewed one team all of a sudden that position gets no longer available and I was then reached out and even got scheduled for another interview with whole different team without my consents for locations I am not considering for relocations!! After 3.5 excruciating months of interviews and a final interview in July for a whole long day I have been left GHOSTED by AMAZON. Today even after multiple weeks of follow-up emails no body send in any feedback/response/rejection email. WORDS OF ADVICE : Do not waste your time with Amazon. They will end up ghosting on you after wasting several of your weeks/months. Instead invest time with a company that actually values your time.

Question 1
All interviews were just comprised of 1hr behavioral. Your answers must be full of all sort of stories.
