      Data Engineer Interview

      8 May 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2021

      Interview

      Interview started with the hiring manager explaining about the team and then dived right into the SQL question. Given about 10 mins to solve the question which I did. But, it is just whiteboarding, so you won't have the ability to run your query and verify your output. The hiring manager has a very strong accent and I wasn't able to communicate well with him from the get-go. At the end of the interview, I just knew that I am not gonna be a right fit for the role, since I just can't connect to the interviewer during the interview.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      SQL question: 1 table with player_id, log in date, and 2 other fields and was asked to calculate first day retention rate. First day retention rate is defined as the player who log in the 2nd straight day, after the first ever time they log into game.

      Question 2

      Asked about building data pipeline and how I would handle, using AWS product, if the data volume increases.
