I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Singapore) in Oct 2023
Interview
1st round - hiring manager
2nd round - Final loop consisting of 5 interviews. They spread it over a number of days and it's all online via chime. They are video calls but 2 of the 5 interviewers didn't turn on their video.
There is a live SQL test (The recruiter said there wouldn't be one but there was) but there definitely was. They are all behavioural based questions based on the leadership principles.
They expect super complex examples and will ask you numerous times about your learnings and challenges from each example so be sure to know what you learnt and be able to be self critical. Also they will continue to dig really deep into your examples and ask lots of questions so make sure you can elaborate on it.
Be prepared to answer "tell me about yourself" 5 times and answer why amazon.

The process consisted of three rounds - a recruiter call, a case study round, and a final behavioral interview. The case study involved analyzing a dataset and presenting recommendations to a panel. Interviewers were professional and asked thoughtful follow-up questions. Feedback was provided within a week of the final round.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX)
Interview
The process consisted of a technical and behavioral round. Although the recruiter stated it would cover SQL and behavioral topics, the interview focused entirely on scenario-based and behavioral questions without a live SQL technical assessment. Communication after the interview was poor; the recruiter did not respond to follow-up emails, and an automated rejection notice was sent two days later.
