I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Amsterdam) in Mar 2024
Interview
ask for the computer vision algorithms like ResNet block, how FRCN works, and how yolo works, and what is their difference, after then we did a quick leetcode test (rotate the 2D matrix 90 degrees).

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2026
Interview
This interview was for the Applied Scientist Position at Amazon. It was a Science breadth/Depth as well as 1 easy LC problem. After that did a full loop interview. 1 Science ML Breadth, 1 Science Depth, 1 Sys Design (Team-specific), 1 coding round and 1 Bar Raiser
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Bias-Variance tradeoffs. Bagging Vs boosting. Modeling details in my project. Basic Statistical Questions. DSA: String compression problem.
1 HR round
4 technical interviews (coding+depth+breadth) of Machine Learning.
1 round to go into depth of my own projects.
1 round on general data science questions + system design (model a pipeline end-to-end for translating one set of multimodal objects to another language)
Application
I interviewed at Amazon (Santa Monica, CA)
Interview
Two easy Leetcode problems, some ML coding problems and a lot of Leadership Principles talk. Overall average experience. A lot of middle managers not much room to innovate or take risks. Like working for the DMV
