Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to deal with ambiguous business problem statements
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2020
Interview
First phone call with hiring manager, basic Amazon LP questions and basic SQL questions. Next round was a direct on-site loop invitation after 2+ months of the first round, so it was a little unexpected. There were some internal team changes that caused the delay and also change in coordinating recruiter. Since I had interviewed with Amazon before, I was prepared for the loop. 4 team related interviewers and 1 bar-raiser, 95% based on Amazon LPs and situations based questions. Final round was a technical round with some basic Excel functional skills. Overall, easy interview process if you are aware with the Amazon interview style.
