I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Dec 2018
Interview
1-hour phone interview, some questions on machine learning basics and one coding question. I was later invited to an onsite interview but failed there. Most of the onsite questions are open-ended, and it seems to me that you need to give the exact answer the interviewer wants.
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.
