1) A machine learning take home assignment . It was a prediction problem using simplest method. 2) Phone Interview with ML Scientist - Basic questions in ML 3) Onsite - 5 rounds of interview Every round focuses on Behavioural questions. Amazon breathes these principals. 1) Presentation - about a project you recently worked on (be prepared to get grilled) 2) Algo and DS - Not what you typically expect. It was more of a design problem 3) ML Application - About a Amazon product design using ML 4) ML breadth - Questions to test on your ML expertise 5) ML coding - Focus is more on functional programming and less on ML.

Interview 1 Coding Question ( Medium based on LeetCode ): • It was based on https://leetcode.com/problems/number-of-islands/. It has a minor alteration which was to return the area of the smallest island. Basically, recursively iterate over the array, keep track of smallest visited island. Interview 2 Coding Question ( Medium based on LeetCode ): • This was https://leetcode.com/problems/permutations/ the question.

Many objected-oriented design programming problems. Every round has two coding problems. The content ranges from complex trie structure design with specific functions, weighted graph problems, etc, and some machine learning-related problems. Better know some state-of-the-art techniques.
