I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Cambridge, East of England, England) in Mar 2016
Interview
It was a first-round phone interview. I applied the job online and waited for about 2 weeks. A recruiter arranged the by giving me a table to fill my free time slots in the next 3 weeks and arranged my interview by the nearest time slot, which indicates that if you want more time to prepare you can simply say you are not free in the first one or two weeks.
There was no general questions in the interview. The interviewer directly asked what I'm studying and relevant questions about speech technology, which are listed below.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1) how ASR works in general and related project details
2) how speech synthesis works
3) general ML questions like generative v.s. discriminative
4) good projects you remember in details
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.
Thrilled to have accepted the offer — the process was tougher than I expected. The first round was primarily technical, where I tackled an A/B testing design question that required detailed metrics and sample size calculations. Later, I faced a SQL query challenge focused on tracking customer purchases over consecutive months. Funny enough, I had spent quite some time on PracHub digging into similar case studies, which really helped me approach these problems confidently. The final round included behavioral questions, and I felt well-prepared overall.
