I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Luxembourg) in Feb 2022
Interview
First-round with hiring manager phone call for 45mins(background, introduce yourself). The final round interview panel for 4 people each one 45mins, most of the interview questions is behavior-based. A lot about the leadership principles not so much tech-focused. Two leadership principle questions for each interview. In the preparatory meeting, the recruiter told me to focus only on a few principles related to the position, but the panel asked more than the suggestions given by the recruiter!

Question 1
1. Tell me about a time you disagreed with leadership. How did you convince a manager or stakeholder to change their strategy or course of action?
2. Tell me about a time you had to make a complex business decision. How did you arrive at your conclusion and what were the trade-offs?
3. Tell me about a time you took on responsibility outside of your job duties and why you chose to do so.
4. Tell me about a time when you did something innovative in your work.
SQL basic questions.
The process consisted of three rounds - a recruiter call, a case study round, and a final behavioral interview. The case study involved analyzing a dataset and presenting recommendations to a panel. Interviewers were professional and asked thoughtful follow-up questions. Feedback was provided within a week of the final round.

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.
