J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (San Francisco, CA) en oct. 2022
Entretien
I applied through Amazon and recruiter got back to me and the scheduling was very fast. This was my second interview for the "Applied Scientist" position. The first one was 6 months ago and it was mostly easy/medium leetcode and ML concepts & resume based; however, the second one was absolutely a torture. The person who interviewed me from the Sustainability Science and Innovation (SSI) group was extremely rude and jaded, from the start to finish of my interview. This was by far the worst interview experience of my career. I am very glad that it wasn't someone else who interviewed me and I don't have to work with this irritable and miserable person!
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Write the loss function for the logistic regression. Prove that it has a global minimum.
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.
