I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2021
Interview
The process was well designed.
The first round consisted on a phone interview. I have been asked in depth questions about my research projects that I listed in the resume. Then I was given a coding question. Finally, I have been asked several behavioral questions.
Second round was a phone interview as well. I have been asked some ML design questions . Then a hard coding problem and finally some behavioral questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Coding problem about dynamic programming.
- Design an ML algorithm to classify tweets.
- Various behavioral questions
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.
