Interview
I did my phone interview using websites. They asked me to self-introduce myself around 5 minutes, and then some questions are raised regarding my past projects. A few questions are asked about Transformer and something related to technical things of deep learning.
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.
