I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Amsterdam) in Oct 2019
Interview
Interview included three parts: test with 2 problems to code, phone interview and onsite interview during the full 8 hours working day with several interviewers. The first interview was much more complex for me because initially they wanted to consider me for Software Engineer position, after successfully passed first step I was tested for Data Engineering only. Phone exam was quite simple, despite I prepared to have two parts - technical and behavioral, I was asked with technical questions only. The last step is the hardest one: I passed for about 5 interviews with technical specialists and managers. There were technical questions about DWH, databases, SQL and other. But the most difficult are behavioral, well, not exactly that, but they ask about your experience and you should show the main principles they are trying to fit your answer to.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to design DWH for support team managing tickets, another task was to design DWH for gathering statistics about music streaming service
Very difficult process it took me a round 1 month to get back what’s the review for the interview so I think overall it’s bad experience and difficult interview process while it has lot of questions I wa able to answer
Standard three-round process consisting of an online assessment followed by a comprehensive interview loop, where candidates were evaluated across technical skills, problem solving ability, and overall fit for the role.
In my 5th semester, Amazon visited our campus to hire interns for multiple roles, and I was shortlisted for the Data Engineer role.
I cleared the online assessment and attended two technical interviews. The first round focused on coding, while the second round focused on SQL. I faced some challenges in the SQL round, and although I was not selected, the experience helped me identify areas for improvement, especially in advanced SQL concepts
