Interview
Recruiter round, then one round of interview + second round of 6 interviews. 2nd round consists of at least 1 BQ question. Then offer negotiations with recruiter. Technical difficulty was not hard, yet some interviewers seem to not care about the interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe how to deal with a difficult situation at work.
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.
