The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2021
Interview
I had applied for Business Analyst as an MBA graduate . The first round I had was technical where the interviewer asked me sql questions , he gave me real time scenarios and asked me to write queries based on date function. First thing in given limited time you are supposed to understand the query and then writing it with correct syntax takes time and people freak out because of the time constraint. It would be good if they check out SQL knowledge and not syntax query because even in real time scenarios people check the syntax online. Knowing approach and what to use in SQL would have be better than writing the query in 2 min
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX)
Interview
The process consisted of a technical and behavioral round. Although the recruiter stated it would cover SQL and behavioral topics, the interview focused entirely on scenario-based and behavioral questions without a live SQL technical assessment. Communication after the interview was poor; the recruiter did not respond to follow-up emails, and an automated rejection notice was sent two days later.
