Question 1
> Interview loop:
1 -> Interview with Business Intelligence Engineer - Technical Interview:
They performed some questions in detail for Dive Deep leadership principle (they wanted to know everything: how did I processed data, table names, column names, methods used)
The engineer did a question on how to load a CSV file with python, and also made me resolve two SQL exercises (SELECT-JOIN type queries).
Lastly asked if I had some experience on reporting software (Power BI, Tableu, QuickSight) and how did I rate myself, and the same question but for python.
2 -> Interview with Hiring manager
The manager explained me the business, they then went to perform some leadership questions base on leadership principles (Ownership was one, and I think the other one was Are Right, A lot).
3 -> Interview with Bar raiser
Bar raiser performed some questions based on leadership principles, nothing technical. I think one was Learn and Be Curious and the other one was one between the following principles: Bias for Action, Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit and Owernship.
4 -> Interview with team member (QA Manager)
Leardership questions based on Invent and Simplify and I think the other one was Ownership.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2021
Interview
The interview was technical. Overall it was okay as an entry level data engineer. Be prepared to answer some SQL questions, excel and Tableau questions as well. You will write some SQL queries from basic to advance. There were single queries, joint queries and union queries.
