      Data Scientist Interview

      15 Nov 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2016

      Interview

      A very, very long process. 2 phone screeners, in the space of 3 weeks 1 resume based(I had relevant experience) and the other had a coding component(I was given the option of SQL, SAS, R and Python) and a Market entry case. After this stage, I had to wait a 6 weeks before I got a call for an onsite interview. Onsite, I had 6 back to back interviews. Each interview tested at least 1 leadership principle and also tested problem solving skills. The first interview had a really simple case question that I royally messed up with complicated thinking(I am almost certain that this cost me). The second interview had SQL. My lunch interview went a little awkward because my interviewer decided to throw a probability based puzzle out of the blue in the last 5 minutes and I couldn't solve it in time. Post lunch, everything went quite smooth, I was asked a forecasting based case, about Holt-winters method and ARIMA. 3 days after interviewing, I got a call where the HR started off by saying "The team really liked your background and experience and were impressed by you BUT, have decided to not move ahead" When I asked for feedback, there was none given to her. So after around 9 weeks in the process, felt a tad devastated to get a reject, I had invested a lot of time and preparation for Amazon.

      First round is fun, second round, which is also the final round involved 5 sessions, with different focus. For some sessions, not be able to present my story completely, time was tight, and interviewers were rushing.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      Thrilled to have accepted the offer — the process was tougher than I expected. The first round was primarily technical, where I tackled an A/B testing design question that required detailed metrics and sample size calculations. Later, I faced a SQL query challenge focused on tracking customer purchases over consecutive months. Funny enough, I had spent quite some time on PracHub digging into similar case studies, which really helped me approach these problems confidently. The final round included behavioral questions, and I felt well-prepared overall.
