I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2025
Interview
The next round was a technical phone interview. The interviewer was a senior BIE and focused primarily on assessing my SQL and data analysis skills. The questions included:
SQL: Write a query to find the second highest salary in a table of employee data.
Data Analysis: Explain how you would go about analyzing a dataset of sales transactions to find trends, anomalies, and correlations.
Business Problem Solving: How would you approach solving a problem where the business needs to understand customer retention and lifetime value using available data?
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
This was a deep dive into SQL and data manipulation. I was given a dataset and had to write queries to answer specific business questions. There were also questions on data modeling and database design.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Luxemburgo) in May 2025
Interview
Behavioural questions, then SQL based assessment, then interview with the manager with live SQL coding and LP-based questions. I honestly thought it went well, but apparently not because I got rejected. I asked for clarifications but never got back.
