I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2010
Interview
The recruting process was negative as it mis-matched my application vs position&interview. The second phone interivew was informed after more than a month after the 1st interview.
The interviewers were both late (one is late for 5 min, and the second late for 20 min). the interview itself is not difficult. One is around resume and relevent expereince and the other is technical interivew.
The interview process was smooth and conversational. The interviewer was calmly asking questions about my previous work experiences and listened patiently. He even gave me ample time to frame my answers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Tell me about your previous work experience.
2. Asked few SQL questions
few rounds of interviews ranging between technical and conversational. Mostly in the form of " tell a story of time where ..." to show how you relate to amazon LPs
The first interview is a technical phone interview that assesses your skills in SQL and Python, specifically data analysis with python. The interviewer pastes the description of an SQL problem on the code editor and asks you to write your answer while describing your thought process. They give you hints when you're stuck.
