December 7, 2024 • 3 reads
Summary
I applied for a Data Engineer - 2 role at Amazon and underwent three interview rounds, including SQL, DSA, and System Design. Despite my efforts, I received a rejection, and the overall experience was negatively impacted by a lack of recruiter communication.
Full Experience
I applied online for the Data Engineer - 2 position, and HR promptly contacted me to initiate the interview process.
The interviews were structured into three distinct rounds:
- Round 1: This round challenged me with a mix of SQL problems, which I found to be of medium to hard difficulty, alongside Data Structures & Algorithms questions that were generally of medium complexity.
- Round 2: In this round, I again faced medium-difficulty SQL problems. A significant portion of the discussion also revolved around my previous project experiences, which I presented and elaborated upon.
- Round 3: This was the crucial System/Data Pipeline Design round. The core problem involved designing a comprehensive system capable of identifying and presenting the top 10 products. Unfortunately, I did not perform well enough in this round, leading to my eventual rejection.
