I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2025
Interview
It was the first round of interviews following the online assessment. This round focused mainly on technical skills, with about 80% of the questions related specifically to SQL. For Amazon, your SQL skills are crucial because the team works with it daily.

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.
