I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Barcelona) in Oct 2024
Interview
The first 30 minutes will be dedicated to questions assessing scientific depth to gauge my expertise, and the last 30 minutes will focus on questions assessing scientific breadth to evaluate my knowledge in ML and DL.
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.
