I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
After a brief telephonic interview (simple SQL + 2 lps), I went to the onsite, which was 4 sessions of 60 minutes each.
The first one was only LPs with a technical manager.
The second one was with another DE, who asked me some LPs and then went to the technical part: providing a schema, I was asked to create a script from scratch for an ETL to provide certain data (I had to write a function for each step of the process). I wasn't expecting this question at all and did really bad here.
The third one was with the HM who asked some LPs.
The fourth one was with a sr.DE who asked me some LPs and a lot of technical stuff about databases. After that we went through some simple SQL and Python scripting but I didn't have enough time.
