I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Dec 2018
Interview
1-hour phone interview, some questions on machine learning basics and one coding question. I was later invited to an onsite interview but failed there. Most of the onsite questions are open-ended, and it seems to me that you need to give the exact answer the interviewer wants.
The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Redwood City, CA) in Sep 2019
Interview
The recruiters at Amazon are the worst I came across.They insist on scheduling phone interviews and then ghost out without an explanation. Both Scout and Prime air recruiters contacted me several times. Some ghosted out after I said ok let’s talk, one said my CV is not relevant after telling me I’m a great fit for the role, which I was.Get it together!
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2019
Interview
I applied online. Then, just a phone interview talking about my research. Not many technical questions. There was only one reviewer. Got the results several weeks later. The whole process is relatively fast.
