I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (North Guwāhāti) in Oct 2024
Interview
There are two rounds of interviews first one is dsa round where they ask you 2 dsa questions medium to tough generally leetcode and the second round is ml round where they ask throughly about ml and check your understanding about all the topics also discuss your projects
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me two sum and one was binary tree question about placing cameras to observe all the nodes(leetcode)
Looking back, I'm relieved I declined the offer, despite the intense experience. The interview process felt overwhelming, starting with some tough core ML concepts before diving into the LLM fundamentals. During the technical round, I recognized a tokenization question from a PracHub session I had done just a week before. It felt like a small win in an otherwise challenging interview. Ultimately, the pressure and expectations were high, but I felt it wasn't the right fit for me.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
LLM fundamentals: tokenization design and KL-regularized SFT
There are three rounds in total. The process begins with a coding round, followed by the main interview loop, where you will meet the team and discuss technical skills, experience, and fit.
First round is fun, second round, which is also the final round involved 5 sessions, with different focus. For some sessions, not be able to present my story completely, time was tight, and interviewers were rushing.
