I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2017
Interview
The first round was a phone screening interview. I was asked few behavioral questions, as well as two business cases. The second round was in the Amazon office. I met with 4 people over 3 hours and was asked a lot of behavioral questions. I had read on Glassdoor that other candidates received some basic SQL , business cases, and basic statistics questions during their final round, but I received only behavioral questions. All the interviewers were friendly and seemed excited to meet me and talk with me. If you're preparing for an interview with Amazon, I suggest that you review all their leadership principles and try to weave them into your answers.

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.
