Business Intelligence Engineer Interview Questions

1,082 business intelligence engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Being primarily a behavioral interview the questions were primarily focused on questions where I needed to relay situations I had worked through that demonstrate my abilities and knowledge of the leadership principles. The technical questions were relatively simple regarding setting up SQL statements, creating joins, thinking critically/technically about challenges in extracting data, etc. Probably the most difficult technical question was during the phone interview when I had to, off the top of my head, tell the interviewer how to write a SQL statement without being able to type or write it out myself. This was only difficult in that all of it had to happen in my head and it included multiple tables, a sub-query, and a union.

Tell me about a time where you had to choose between multiple solutions to a problem. Tell me about a time where you went above and beyond for a customer Have you ever had an experience where you proposed a solution that you faced resistance in implementing? Have you ever had an experience where you didn't know how to solve a problem? Say your are ingesting near real-time data from JSON outputs, how would you set up the process to optimize both read and write from your destination table? Write a SQL query to return the top 2 customers with highest sales volume for each product from a sample dataset/tables Write a SQL query to return only customers who ordered both Product A and B but not Product C from a sample dataset/tables

A large number of behavioral questions centered around AMZN LPs. In terms of technical questions, there are simple SQL questions and one case study question about whether to have a data center in a new location. There are also questions about data visualization (asking you what are good data via practices, what mistakes people make when they are making data visualization etc).
