Pergunta 1
Have completed 2 phone screens.
1st phone screen was a live code interview with a L6 BA at amazon.
They provided 2 tables with the column names
2 basic sql qs on finding sales revenue for the entire year and the quantity sold by sql coding.
3rd sql qs was a little more challenging.
They also asked me a qs on linear regression and p-value testing.
The case was on whether the calls recd by the amazon employees depended upon the variable tenure of employment.
Overall not too difficult though if the concepts are clear.
2nd phone screen was a 45min behavioural interview with another l6 BA.
Still waiting on the final round.

They asked a key question focused on both technical depth and culture fit: how you apply your skills to solve real problems, along with examples demonstrating alignment with Amazon’s leadership principles.

Entrevista
Interviewed for Business Analyst role at Amazon and honestly the process felt exhausting and impersonal.
The interviewers seemed far more focused on checking boxes against the 14 Leadership Principles than actually understanding the candidate or having a genuine conversation. Almost every question was another version of a STAR behavioral scenario, even when it barely related to the actual role.
The process felt extremely rehearsed and rigid. There was little effort to make the candidate feel comfortable or valued, and it often felt like they had already decided the outcome before the interview even started.
Technical and analytical depth barely mattered compared to how perfectly you could package stories into Amazon’s preferred format. If you don’t have polished STAR stories memorized for every possible situation, the process can feel unnecessarily difficult and draining.
Overall, one of the most mentally exhausting interview experiences I’ve had.
