I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bellevue, WA) in Mar 2022
Interview
Applied through referral for a specific team and was invited to two rounds of interview (this was in 2022 so there weren't any OA but I heard recently they would do a leetcode-easy OA first)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Round 1: number of islands + basic ML + two LP
Round 2: statistics coding + two LP
I was asked basic knowledge in deep learning and machine learning. Also had time of explaining my research. discussed how I can apply my research to the current project. Transformer architecture, bias-var tradeoff, use of positional encoding, long-term dependencies.
HackerRank assessment with solid, fair questions. Communication with the recruiting team was clear and professional throughout the process. I was invited to two additional interviews, one focused on research depth and the other on coding skills.
One phone screen on LeetCode-style medium coding question plus behavioral questions. One loop of three back to back interviews including one round of coding, two rounds of research plus behavioral questions.
