Totally deceptive job advert. Did not make it to the interview. The job posting barely mentioned SQL, noting only at the bottom "SQL experience."
A named person from HR contacted me, sending a link to an "online assessment" that covered "Amazon's leadership principles." Nothing else was mentioned.
The actual test turned out to be 110 minutes on advanced SQL coding. Of course, had I known this, I never would have applied. Complete waste of my time and theirs. They can ask for whatever they want, All I ask is that they make the job posting accurate.
