Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Boston, MA) en may 2017
Entrevista
I first had two rounds phone screen with Alexa team in Boston which went great. So I was invited to have an onsite interview with them. They arranged an one month later onsite interiew which I think was a little bit too late but out of politeness, I didn't push them. about one week before the onstie interview I was told the position was filled . Obviously, I was used as a back up.
So the HR offered me another postion "analytics engineer" saying that they need one more round interview and if it goes well I can have my onsite interview.
After the 3rd round phone screen ( I think i did pretty well, just behaviour questions ), there was no feedback so I wrote an email to push and the feedback was they need THE 4th round interview.
I feel that I was used as a back up again and the process was too long for me to handle so I didn't follow up with them. Neither did they contact me anymore about THE 4th round interview. I hope they can work more professionally.

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.

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.
