Me postulé a través de un reclutador. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon
Entrevista
I applied through the employee referral program, but never heard back from Amazon about the specific application. Instead I was contacted by a recruiter later for a completely different role. Within a week I had a technical phone screen. I was told to prepare for high-level model discussion that could even include my own experience. Instead, it was a drill of brain teasers and regurgitation of model assumptions that could be memorized. The interviewer also used a screen sharing application for coding that took 5 minutes to load because they hadn't used it before. I was told the interview would be 30-40 minutes, but instead it took 1 hour. I received no feedback except that I did not move forward in the process.

Pregunta 1
What are the assumptions for using a logistic regression? What is the loss function for it? How would you build a recommendation system in certain scenarios?
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.

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.
