I submitted my application for a Business Analyst role via the Amazon jobs portal. I was contacted by a recruiter shortly thereafter. She set up an interview with a team member pretty quickly after. I was informed that this would be a part behavioral and technical interview.
The first interview was one run by a team member-- not the hiring manager but someone adjacent to this team's hiring manager. This interview was good. The interviewer went directly into questions about my experience but did not ask any technical (SQL) questions. I was a bit surprised by the latter as I had prepared for a SQL interview.
I was moved to the virtual onsite interview where I spoke with six folks for about one hour each. The recruiter had prepped me by telling me that this would be STAR focused, and discussed which Amazon principles were most important to this role.
The onsite interviews felt almost like an interrogation; I did not feel comfortable in the setting. I am a woman of color and spoke with five white men in a row who seemed to challenge and attempt to invalidate my professional experiences. I did not feel any rapport with the interviewers.
In the end, I never heard feedback from my recruiter despite the fact that I sent multiple emails, two calls, and a voicemail. I was ghosted. For all of the effort that I put into the interview process, an email rejection would have been welcomed.
2 screening 1 technical and 1 leadership principles, then onsite all day interview , meeting different people over five hours, one hour each interviewer. Had break in the middle. Lot of situational questions to show qualities based on the Leadership principles
For this position all they are looking for is SQL, Data Analytics and LPs . I applied online then had first phone interview all SQL focused. Then had 5 rounds of virtual onsite 4 LP focused and 1 sql.
