I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2021
Interview
The interviewers didn't give proper feedback at all. They seemed to go along with my reasoning but rejected me without any good reason. Also, the recruiters were way off in explaining what was expected at the interview. Didn't expect this from Amazon!
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.
