I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Charlotte, NC) in Jul 2015
Interview
Bad attitude from Interviewer . The job description had mentioned SAS skill-set, but the interviewer said they use it less that 1% of the time . The interviewer rather getting to know me, showcased his knowledge about the business (which obviously will be high since he works for them ).
I wish Amazon stopped asking some 20 year olds to interview, the interviewer had no pragmatic vision and was a total jerk.
Please stop wasting your time for this position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Linear regression vs logistic regression, r - squared, P value . SQL query.
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.
