I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2019
Interview
It is the first round with the team manager. All the questions are about simple tech concept or simple code, including R, Python, SQL, machine learning, stats, Excel, Tableau. No behavior question.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Minneapolis, MN) in Mar 2019
Interview
Extremely impersonal, rushed and unfriendly. After submitting the original application through my school program we met for a technical interview. Although the questions were individual they had 40 of us in a proctored exam room for two hours to complete all of the questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical problems asking us to provide SQL scripts demonstrating the ability to join tables and perform basic arithmetic. Also requested data visualization code in either R or python for a given problem. Lastly wanted to know how I would set up an online A/B testing scenario and how I would determine whether or not to roll out a new program given the results of the experiment.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2019
Interview
This is the first round of phone interview ( two rounds of phone interview before the onsite since I'm new grad). It was technical + behavioral, one hour in total. It was pretty conversational, and sql questions are not difficult at all. Two days later, they sent me an invitation to the next round.
