Originally had a behavioral interview scheduled for Tuesday. On Monday, Recruiter emailed me saying it had to move to Monday next week; I said ok. On Wednesday, recruiter emailed again saying it would be a case interview and attaching a take-home case. If i had been interviewed on the original scheduled date, it would have been significantly less work for me. Why suddenly changed their interview format last minute and required me to do at least 10 extra hours of prep? IS THIS A RED FLAG?

Sounds like they accelerated your interview or they want to ensure you can do the work before moving forward with you. The recruiter may have misspoke or didn’t fully understand their process. You don’t really know. Either way, if it’s a company you’ve vetted and really want to work for, why care that much?

Glassdoor, search their website, research the company doing searches on various topics, look up reviews, speak to current and former employees… The list is extensive but these are the top ones usually.

Seems like a red flag

Take home case includes research and ppt making.

I should have provided more details earlier. First of all, the recruiter didn’t have an overview of the whole process- it felt like they figured out as they went kind of thing. Originally the recruiter told me this around would be a ‘competency interview’; and i asked her if competency meant a situational interview or a case interview or any other format. She told me for now it would be situational but she would let me know if there was a change (???). And then suddenly AFTER rescheduling, it actually changed. Like, wtf? I feel fishy.

Genuine question- how do you vet a company? This interview process is already 1.5 month and there have been a few hic cups and i’m genuinely concerned. What is the worst case scenario here? Join the firm and get laid off within a week? Could there be worst scenarios? Trying to see if this is worth it.

Hi, I have an upcoming phone interview at Amazon for data engineering role. I feel I have serious lacking in python leetcode, and data modelling/warehousing.

If I delay, the position could be closed as it has been open for quite a while. Please advise.

I've been working in management consulting for the last few years (incl working at Big 4).

I feel like I'm not cut out for the MBBs and will never be able to 'crack' the case study interview because I'm just not good /smart enough.
