I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Sep 2021
Interview
There are 2 rounds of interviews, the first one is of coding where I was asked to code for 2 problems. Both were medium level in difficulty. Amazon gives more emphasis on the interaction between interviewer and candidate and your problem-solving skills. The second round is for machine learning basics. The ML round is tough to crack.
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.
