Recruiter contacts you for initial details. Then a "phone" interview with a hiring manager. This was for Applied Scientist (Alexa NLP). You get provided material to prepare with. The leadership principles are unfortunately very important.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Asks a couple of behaviour questions based on the Leadership principles. Then basics of ML: ensemble methods, unsupervised methods, ROC-AUC, covering the breadth. Then for the depth: workings of RNN, Transformers, LLMs. A general coding problem, probably a Leetcode easy.
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.
J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Tokyo) en avr. 2026
Entretien
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.
