I was emailed by a recruiter and had two video conference interviews with people in the team that are interested 2 weeks later. After that I was informed by the recruiter that the result would be announced in approx. 5 days then she completely disappeared. Terrible experience.
I just want to say: Hey, I don't care how big your company is, but ghosting is rude. I treat you with all respect and I expect you to do the same.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some basic machine learning questions, a coding interview and a couple behavioural questions.
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 (Tokio) 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.
