I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Edinburgh, Scotland)
Interview
6-7 in house interviews. Quite easy, but coding was hard for me. More behavioural questions and less technical. They want to see business side of tech as well, so make sure, you know it before going to the interview.
Two phone screen interviews
Discussion and deep dive into domain knowledge for both of them, second interview had one coding question in addition about weighted random number generator, then followed by insite loop interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
coding question about weighted random number generator
- Coding Round: 1 coding question on Binary Search
- Technical Round: Lots of questions on ML and DL
- Case Study: Related to product development
- Project Discussion: Current project and what are the challenges faced. Also, some of the relevant older projects
Recruiter kept ghosting. Eventually, had an interview scheduled. But interviewer ghosted. Then got back to recruiter, who said they will schedule another interview, but ghosted again. Very unprofessional behavior from such a large firm.
