I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2020
Interview
I had 3 rounds of interview:
1. Phone Interview - Technical - 4 SQL and 4 Python
2. Phone Interview - Behavioral Interview with hiring manager - based on leadership principles
3. Virtual Onsite Round - 1 technical round (3 SQL, 4 Python and few questions on visualization and ETL) and the 4 behavioral rounds based on leadership principles .
Be prepared to have at least 2 examples for each LP because some questions are repeated and they want us to provide different example for each case. Also tell them realistic examples because they will deep dive into solutions and you should be able to answer all technicalities and logistics.
The interview process was smooth and conversational. The interviewer was calmly asking questions about my previous work experiences and listened patiently. He even gave me ample time to frame my answers.

Question 1
1. Tell me about your previous work experience.
2. Asked few SQL questions
few rounds of interviews ranging between technical and conversational. Mostly in the form of " tell a story of time where ..." to show how you relate to amazon LPs
The first interview is a technical phone interview that assesses your skills in SQL and Python, specifically data analysis with python. The interviewer pastes the description of an SQL problem on the code editor and asks you to write your answer while describing your thought process. They give you hints when you're stuck.
