I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in May 2024
Interview
I was recommended by an Amazon employee (referral), and the interview process took one month.
Recruiter Screen: A 30-minute Chime video call.
Online Assessment: A simulation of BA tasks, approximately 1 hour.
Hiring Manager Interview: A 1-hour Chime video call discussing my past roles, SQL assessment, and the role itself.
Virtual Onsite: Five 1-hour Chime video calls with five Amazon employees. The first two interviews included three situational questions each, focusing on leadership principles. The last three interviews concentrated on technical skills such as problem-solving, visualization design, and SQL, with each including two situational questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Not literally, and not limited to the following, the questions were:
Tell me about a problem you had to solve that required in-depth thought and analysis.
Describe a situation where other members of your team didn’t agree with your ideas. What did you do?
Tell me about a time when you were assigned a particularly challenging task.
Tell me about a challenging client-facing situation and how you handled it.
When do you think it’s okay to push back or say no to an unreasonable customer request?
Tell me about a time when you needed to transfer your project or responsibilities to another person.
easy but essential for gathering information on me as a potential employee. I was well researched and was able to answer basic questiions: like why are you interested in us
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2023
Interview
2 interviews, one behavioral and one technical after the screening online portion. Online portions based heavily on amazon's values, the technical interviews needs excel and data knowledge. Overall, not a bad process.
