J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon en avr. 2012
Entretien
I applied online and got an email one week later. They scheduled a technical interview for me with a software engineering manager within two weeks. I'm not sure if they will focus on coding or modeling problems. I had no idea how to prepare for this.
The interview turned out to be modeling questions.
Looking back, I'm relieved I declined the offer, despite the intense experience. The interview process felt overwhelming, starting with some tough core ML concepts before diving into the LLM fundamentals. During the technical round, I recognized a tokenization question from a PracHub session I had done just a week before. It felt like a small win in an otherwise challenging interview. Ultimately, the pressure and expectations were high, but I felt it wasn't the right fit for me.
Questions d'entretien [2]
Question 1
LLM fundamentals: tokenization design and KL-regularized SFT
There are three rounds in total. The process begins with a coding round, followed by the main interview loop, where you will meet the team and discuss technical skills, experience, and fit.
First round is fun, second round, which is also the final round involved 5 sessions, with different focus. For some sessions, not be able to present my story completely, time was tight, and interviewers were rushing.
