I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Two telephonic rounds which I did great and then was called for onsite interview.
Had 6 rounds. Very simple technical questions. SQL and Data modeling related.
I did the Bar raiser round well too.
Sadly, I was told the position was for Data engineer-3 and that I was suitable only for Data Engineer-2 but also that I had to wait for a year and give the interview again.
Then I was told I could be considered for BI Engineer-2 but had to go through the entire interview process again.
By this time I was not interested in the company anymore and thankfully the HR did not contact me again even after having said he'd reach out to talk about the BI Engineer position.
Give opportunities to people who do well in interviews and please ask sensible questions. Asking 20-30 behavioral questions on scenarios faxed to people with just 3/4 years of work experience and expecting them to have gone through all the 20-30 scenarios is simply stupid.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2026
Interview
Applied online. Got an OA. OA was not that difficulty, on the easier side to be honest. Got an email asking for interview availability.
Interview in a week. Will update soon.
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.
