I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (London, England) in May 2020
Interview
A technical phone screening interview with a data scientist, followed by a series of 6 virtual interviews with a team of scientists, software engineers, and a technical presentation. The entire process was completed in 3 weeks from the first interview to the last one. Feedback was very fast too.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Provide a one-hour technical presentation on a topic of your choice, but not completely out of the scope of the role you are interviewing for.
- Complete coverage of the soft skills and principles that all Amazon employees are expected to demonstrate: show instances/cases in your career where you displayed those skills.
- Technical quizzing on probabilities, statistics, and some Machine Learning algorithms
- Coding style interview: use of data structures
Applied for Amazon AGI. After first round, it will go into full round of multiple interviews. Lots of modern LLM training technic questions. There are still some behavioral questions, but less than general Amazon roles.
Interviewed with 1 phone screen, 1 coding, 2 ml design and 2 lp rounds. Most questions were non-leetcode questions more related to day to day ml implementations. The questions were very practical.
