Interview
I was interviewed by the Amazon security team.
There were two interviews.
In the 1st one, I was asked some very basic coding questions; then the interviewer talked about their research.
In the 2nd interview, I was asked a lot about the research (mostly machine learning and optimization).

I was asked basic knowledge in deep learning and machine learning. Also had time of explaining my research. discussed how I can apply my research to the current project. Transformer architecture, bias-var tradeoff, use of positional encoding, long-term dependencies.
HackerRank assessment with solid, fair questions. Communication with the recruiting team was clear and professional throughout the process. I was invited to two additional interviews, one focused on research depth and the other on coding skills.
