I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Washington, DC) in Mar 2021
Interview
I just interviewed a few days ago so I haven't heard back yet but wanted to post on here before I forgot just because glassdoor was super helpful to me. Went through the telephonic round and then got the call to complete the 4 "on site" rounds virtually.
It was difficult for me honestly and i'll say if you don't have real world experience you probably don't want to start with a company like amazon because rounds on leadership principles require a lot of real world scenarios you've specifically been in (not your team/group but you individually)
You will definitely encounter some of the questions previously posted on glassdoor!
The recruiters were not very helpful at all. often I had to reach out to them multiple times before I got a follow up. I was emailing back and forth with 2 separate people and that was confusing. One email even had the wrong person's name. The first round they told me I would only be evaluated on SQL but then I ended up getting evaluated on python and SQL
As far as the actual interviewers 3 out of 4 were great, they were difficult interview sessions but they made me feel comfortable. The other one didn't turn video on, was cutting me off most of the time and rushing me but that's the real world I guess.

Question 1
I can't give specific questions because I signed an NDA but here are some of the concepts I had to answer
SQL:
1. controlled subqueries

3. The order that a sql is processed from select to order by
4.SQL performance tuning!
5. Slowly changing dimensions

Interview
Applied online. Got an OA. OA was not that difficulty, on the easier side to be honest. Got an email asking for interview availability.
Interview in a week. Will update soon.
Very difficult process it took me a round 1 month to get back what’s the review for the interview so I think overall it’s bad experience and difficult interview process while it has lot of questions I wa able to answer
