Entretien
Interviewed for an applied scientist position. Failed during the virtual on-site. Had 5 rounds. ML breadth, ML deep dive, interview with the hiring manger, coding, and bar raisers. The initial 3 went relatively well. Couldn't solve the coding problem because it was not actually a pure coding problem. It was a probability/stats problem. 4 interviewers out of 5 had pretty bad accents. It made it even more difficult for me.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Lots of LP behavioral questions like tell me about a time when you solved a complex problem/process?
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.

Entretien
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.
