Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2017
Interview
The interview process was superbly structured:
1st round: With Hiring manager for 1 hour. Behavioral Questions (Tell me about a time .... type questions) and SQL questions (Joins, union functions etc).
2nd round : With a Senior BI manager. Pretty much the same structure as 1st.
I was called for onsite interviews which consists of 5 rounds back to back for an hour each.
All of them where behavioral but all the questions were related to atleast one Amazon principle so make sure you tie your answers to them. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART! Your answer HAS to be linked to one principle! At least!
Interviewers seemed really nice an accommodating. The results of the interview process during each of the stages came out pretty quickly.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Dubai) in Mar 2017
Interview
The process was overall very professional. I was notified by email to set up a phone interview, I asked for tips and interview guidelines and I got them. The interview took place on time and was professional and the interviewer refrained from abstract questions such as "what do you consider is your biggest weakness etc. etc."
