I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
It was an easy process. Start with behavior questions, then tech question and end with coding. It was smooth and went fast. Easy to schedule interview and the instruction to join is clear as well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you face a difficult situation.
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.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Tokyo) in Apr 2026
Interview
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.
