I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Luxembourg) in Nov 2023
Interview
Rather long and complex technical interview with the team manager. The interview lasted about an hour with general questions on Machine Learning, Deep Learning. First questions on soft skills are quite easy if you have 5/6 work experiences or university projects ready to tell. For example ‘Tell me about a time when your teammates disagreed with one of your choices’. Immediately afterwards the interviewer started with theoretical ML/DL questions, starting from simple questions such as ‘Explain to me in detail a Machine Learning model of your choice’ to more complex questions such as ‘Explain to me how Transformers work’.
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.
One phone screen on LeetCode-style medium coding question plus behavioral questions. One loop of three back to back interviews including one round of coding, two rounds of research plus behavioral questions.
