I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
I was referred for the interview. So, The first step was a technical interview. They asked ML and Deep learning related questions for 30 mins and after that was live coding. I could not give the optimal solution, I just implemented the first solution that came to my mind and there was no time for improvement. As a result, I was rejected!
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2026

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.

Interview
The process started with a technical phone screen, followed by four back-to-back rounds. The first two technical rounds focused on ML breadth and ML depth respectively, while the later rounds focused more on system design, agentic product thinking, and behavioral examples.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design an agentic recommendation system. How would you structure the system, what models or components would you use, and how would you evaluate its quality and safety?
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)
