I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX) in Nov 2024
Interview
HR from the last mile team reached out, took around 1 month to find an hc, then 1st round interview. Then interview coordinator helped to schedule the interview time with some interview information. Didn't go to the next round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First round:
Introduction
ML breath: including overfitting, bagging vs boosting, optimization
Coding: DFS question
- Coding Round: 1 coding question on Binary Search
- Technical Round: Lots of questions on ML and DL
- Case Study: Related to product development
- Project Discussion: Current project and what are the challenges faced. Also, some of the relevant older projects
Recruiter kept ghosting. Eventually, had an interview scheduled. But interviewer ghosted. Then got back to recruiter, who said they will schedule another interview, but ghosted again. Very unprofessional behavior from such a large firm.
