I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Palo Alto, CA) in Jan 2025
Interview
It took approximately two months to schedule the initial screening. The scheduling part was terrible, but I found my interviewer professional. An observer was also watching the interview, probably for training purposes. I did okay.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some Machine learning basics, plus a coding question to traverse a binary tree
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.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Tokyo) in Apr 2026
Interview
The interview for the Applied Scientist position primarily focused on three core components: technical questions regarding machine learning, a live coding assessment, and a detailed review of my professional experience.
