      Data Engineer Interview

      6 Jul 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seattle, WA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2017

      Interview

      2 phone screens and then the onsite interview. Phone screens are based on SQL and data modelling. Onsite interviews are based on SQL, ETL, Data modelling and behavioral questions. Overall, the experience was good except one of the onsite interviewers. Total 5 onsite interviews. 4 of them were very nice. Good people to interact with. 1 of them was extremely rude, highly unprofessional in the whole interview. He kept pressurizing me and at each step behaved like he was being forced to take this interview. He once even said, "This is a very bad habit (of yours). You are wasting my time". He was literally yelling at me. I felt like walking out of the interview, but I kept calm. This was the worst interview I have ever appeared for and sadly it came from Amazon. If Amazon really thinks about the 'candidate experience', I would strongly suggest not to include this extremely unprofessional man on interview panels so that at least future candidates do not suffer the way I did. Hence even when other interviewers were very nice, this one interview made the experience terrible. I later found that this rude guy worked in the same team I was interviewing for. So declining the offer was a no-brainer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Leadership principles related questions. Can't mention the exact questions since I signed the NDA.
