      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2016

      Interview

      Interview process has initial phone screening , data challenge , technical phone screen followed by onsite technical interview. Initial phone screening has behavioral questions, your background related questions and few basic math questions. Data Challenge was not easy. They give you data set , a business problem and one week of time to solve it. Need to provide your opinion about the problem. Challenge has coding in Python or R or any statistical language , data visualization , your observations about data (data quality) , your suggestions on improvements to be done to metadata , checks that are to be imposed on data. After these technical onsite screening. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to clear data challenge step.

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2024

      Interview

      The recruiter set up the first round phone screening, and it took us three weeks to finally find a time. Though the interviewer didn't show up during the scheduled time, and the recruiter kept ghosting me without any updates. It looks like the position has been filled, but they gave no respect on the candidates who are still in the interview process. It's the worst interview experience I've ever had.

      Question 1

      Just had the recruiter round, some questions on the backgrounds and experience.
