The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Redwood City, CA) in Sep 2019
Interview
The recruiters at Amazon are the worst I came across.They insist on scheduling phone interviews and then ghost out without an explanation. Both Scout and Prime air recruiters contacted me several times. Some ghosted out after I said ok let’s talk, one said my CV is not relevant after telling me I’m a great fit for the role, which I was.Get it together!
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

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.
