Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. If your results came out to be 100% contradictory to your hypothesis what would you do?
2. Do you think amazon should place a cap on the number of products a seller can sell? Why or why not?
3. If you have to think of a product that would be profitable to amazon, what would it be and how would you data mine the result?
4. If amazon places a cap on the sellers and sellers can only sell 100 products instead of 150, if you were the seller, how would you determine which products to keep? And how would you data mine it?
5. How good are you at Excel and SQL from a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the best?
6. What is your biggest accomplishment and how did you measure your success?
SQL questions:
1. What is the difference between HAVING and WHERE?
2. What are the SQL clauses, in the right order?
3. Questions about different types of JOIN
2 B2B 45 minute rounds, 1st asks some amazon LP questions, a bit tricky and niche use cases of the principles, and then some SQL questions. Same thing for second interview but no SQL. They try to use the LP questions to catch you lacking, since generic answers would go against other LP's so you gotta be careful with how you respond.
4 online assessments - 2 fit-based, one technical SQL, one technical Excel
the fit / decision making based assesments incluse more like less like questions and prioritization questions + delegating / focussing questions. The technical SQL interview relates to in depth SQL questions on how to optimize queries for shorter runtimes aswell as writing your own queries to achieve desired outcomes. Finally, there are 2, 45 minute interviews.
